SAARP

SAARP has negotiated special deals for its members.
  • Short term (Household) Insurance: SAARP has specially designed policies and special rates with various insurance companies including SANTAM and Auto & General.
  • Funeral policies: We have policies so low in rates by comparison that some financial institutions are selling our product to their clients.
  • SAARP members become members of MAHALAS: Membership of SAARP entitles one to become a free registered member of Mahala discounts without any direct costs to enable you to join. This opens the door to a host of discounts and redeemable points  from an ever increasing list of suppliers.
  • Specsavers: SAARP members can benefit from a very special prices which the Specsavers group offer to SAARP members countrywide. Just flash your SAARP membership card and serious savings are on offer at any branch.
  • SAARP Holiday Club: We offer our members the benefit of using our Holiday Club  Time Share  points without having to own their own points. Holidays at a very major discount are available to all our members.
  • AVIS Car Hire: One of the consistently cheapest rates with a reputable company is at our members fingertips.
  • Special Funeral Benefits: As a SAARP member you obtain a special discount benefit from Doves without having to pay any money for it at all.  SAARP membership pays!
  • SAHERPA – A SAARP initiative: People making use of a Reverse Mortgage contract in order to maintain their standard of living can do so with the benefit of having had a watchdog body look at the suppliers' documentation to ensure it complies with a very strict code of ethics which we underwrite.
  • Internet Suppliers: We have negotiated with two Internet companies to enable our members to get good deals and maintain a choice of suppliers when doing so.
  • Discounted Hotel Rates: We have arranged for discounted Hotel rates with various  groups of hotels for our members.
  • Old Gold Employment Service: Knowing the needs of the senior citizen, we have initiated a new database of Senior Citizens wishing to find employment. We try to find suitable opportunities for our members in cooperation with Employment Agencies without us charging our member any fees.
  • Retirement Homes Database: After having spent a considerable time building what is probably the most substantial database in the country we are now in partnership with Senior Service in their website serving members needs. www.seniorservice.co.za
  • SACSO: This is the acronym for the S A Confederation of Seniors Organisations. Here we participate as a founding member, in carrying members concerns and generic issues into the realm of government negotiation if necessary.
  • The SAARP Bulletin: The Bulletin is distributed to members quarterly for less than the postage cost. There is no better way to remain up to date with all the matters affecting senior citizens, including new services and discounts.
  • We remind members that we are also continually looking for new benefits  on their behalf.
  • Don't forget to ask for your discount on your subscription to the Sunday papers.
  • Don't forget to regularly check up on your Mahalas growing discount list which is far too large to list here.

We don't just offer a discount – we try to offer a choice of discounts on each product.
