If you insure your motorcycle with Discovery Insure, you have the option to select the Vitality Drive programme and get rewarded for your motorcycle riding behaviour.
The Vitality Drive programme for motorcycles differs from the standard Vitality Drive programme, depending on whether you have a comprehensively insured car on your Discovery Insure plan or whether the only vehicle you insure on the Discovery Insure plan is your motorcycle.
If your motorcycle is insured with other vehicles
You can select the Vitality Drive programme for motorcycles if you have activated Vitality Drive on your Discovery Insure plan. Vitality Drive for motorcycles is optional, even if Vitality Drive is activated on the Discovery Insure plan. You can add a motorcycle to your Vitality Drive programme on the fuel rewards and Drive Your Discount reward options, if you have other vehicles on your policy.
If your motorcycle is the only vehicle insured
You can join Vitality Drive Fuel Rewards for R75.50 a month for each primary driver if your only vehicle is a motorcycle and you have insured your household contents or buildings for at least R300,000. You cannot join Vitality Drive through Drive your Discount if you only insure your motorcycle.

Vitality Drive costs R25 for each primary driver a month.
Vitality Drive status and points
With Vitality Drive, you can earn up to 3,000 Vitality Drive points every month. You earn Vitality Drive points by driving well, improving your driving behaviour, and making sure your vehicles are safe to drive.

- You will receive a maximum of 60 Drive points each day if you have the Vitality Drive Sensor and 50 Drive points if you have the standalone DQ-Track.

When and how you receive your Vitality Drive card depends on the DQ-Track option you chose:
- With the smartphone-enabled DQ-Track, you will get your Vitality Drive card in your welcome pack when you pick up your Vitality Drive Sensor at Tiger Wheel & Tyre or your nearest Discovery Drive Centre (You will not qualify for fuel rewards on Drive your Discount, so you will not receive a Vitality Drive card when you install a smartphone-enabled DQ-Track device).

Once you have your Vitality Drive card and have linked it to your Plan, all you have to do is swipe it at BP or Shell service stations when you fill up to earn your fuel rewards.
