Connecting brands, people and purpose

Great businesses aren’t built in isolation. They’re built through partnerships, shared vision, and a genuine belief that collaboration creates more value than competition ever could.

That’s exactly why the partnership between Gage Car Hire and The Insurance Directory felt like a no-brainer.

For the 2025/2026 edition of The Insurance Directory, Gage Car Hire proudly came on board as a contributing sponsor, supporting a platform that has become an essential tool for South Africa’s insurance and financial community. For Gage, the alignment was natural. For the industry, it’s another example of how strong brands can come together to move things forward.

Founded in March 2021 by Blake Dyason, in partnership with CN&CO, The Insurance Directory was created with a simple but powerful mission: to give brokers and financial advisors free access to the most comprehensive, up-to-date insurance directory in South Africa, both online and in print. More than just a directory, it’s a centralised hub for product information, insights and industry news, designed to make doing business easier in a fast-moving, increasingly digital world.

In an industry where information changes quickly and decisions matter, simplicity and accessibility are everything. The Insurance Directory delivers exactly that,  a one-stop platform where reinsurers, insurers, underwriters, brokers, investment houses and service providers can showcase their offerings and share meaningful content with thousands of professionals across the country.

For Gage Car Hire, the partnership speaks to shared values. As COO Kurt Solomon puts it, “supporting a platform that connects people, products and decision-makers across the insurance ecosystem was an easy call. Gage works closely with insurers, brokers and UMAs every day, and backing a platform that strengthens those relationships just makes sense”.

At CN&CO, we believe in connecting great people with great businesses, and this collaboration is a perfect example of that in action. So, if you’re an insurer, broker, UMA or industry partner looking for a smarter car hire solution, get in touch with Gage Car Hire.

And if you’re not yet part of The Insurance Directory, now is the time to join. Because when the right brands collaborate, the entire industry moves forward.
