Standing in a long queue to renew your motor vehicle licence disc has always been a hassle, but now during the global COVID-19 pandemic we are facing, standing in a queue can be risky for your health, especially as maintaining social distance can be difficult in a crowd. Also, queues are likely to be longer due to certain licence renewal venues closing or limiting their hours, and the place closest to you may not be open to the public anymore.
Another challenge of going in person to renew your vehicle licence is that when you get there, the system might be down, causing further delays.
The lockdown we all experienced last year taught us that almost anything can be ordered or processed online, and now that includes renewing your vehicle licence, from the ease and comfort of your own home. Motor Hero is a new online platform that allows those whose vehicles are registered in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Free State, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape to renew their licence discs by simply registering on their website at www.motorhero.co.za.
Not only is it easy to use, but the platform is available 24 hours a day, all year round – no waiting for licence renewal centres to open, or taking time off work to stand for hours in a queue! After a short wait of 7 to 21 working days, your licence disc is delivered to your door, hassle-free. Delivery is nationwide, so even if you’re in a different province than the one your licence is registered in, you can still receive your disc. For a small fee of only R199, this service is well worth using to avoid the frustration of having to do the disc renewal in person.
Added benefits of using MotorHero include checking the status of your licence disc renewal, setting reminders for when your next renewal is due, and being able to renew company-registered vehicle licence discs online. You can also choose to pay your licence disc renewal once-off or if you qualify, you are able to pay it over 6 weeks interest-free with Pay Flex.
