Payment Saver Plan (PSP)
The Car4Less Payment Saver Plan (PSP) explained topic by topic: Post & Share, Shop & Save, cashback, rewards, eligibility and the rules that govern it.
21 topics · 175 answered questions · 3 articles
The Car4Less Payment Saver Plan (PSP) is the rewards programme that sits alongside a qualifying new-car purchase: create and share approved Car4Less content, and when that content leads to a verified new-vehicle sale and delivery tracked back to you, you qualify for cashback of up to R3 000. It is not an insurance policy, not an investment and not income; it is a structured, verified participation programme, with the separate Shop & Save loyalty programme alongside it.
This knowledge centre explains every part of the plan, topic by topic, with the questions people actually ask. It is written to explain the PSP without changing it: the Terms & Conditions published on car4less.co.za remain the controlling document and prevail wherever anything here could be read differently.
