Check out Hippo 2.0: hippo.co.za
Life keeps getting more expensive. More responsibilities, more debit orders, more pressure on your budget.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, you still need to make sure you’re properly covered without having to spend hours (you don’t have) trying to figure out if you’re getting a good deal or not.
And you’d have no way of knowing without comparing.
That’s the whole reason Hippo exists.
Now, after years of helping South Africans close that gap, we’ve just rebuilt the entire experience from the ground up.
New look, faster platform, same job: showing you what you could be paying instead of what you are.
The average user who compares Car Insurance saves R539p/m* and if you compare a few more products, that number can jump up to R1208p/m*.
What will it save you?

Wait, so what’s changed?
Almost everything except South Africa’s beloved Hippo puppet.
Hippo 2.0 was rebuilt to make finding cover simpler, faster and more personal.
It’s mobile-first, easier to navigate and just nicer to use, with the Hippo right there to guide you at every step.
The changes you’ll feel straight away:
Schedule your calls
Hippo no longer calls you directly. Only the brand you’ve selected will contact you to finalise your cover. We’ve also added a “Schedule call” function, so that you can receive a call when it’s convenient for you.
We safeguard your information
The platform is built to safely and securely save your details. You can now get a Car Insurance, Medical Aid or Buildings Insurance quote with a single click.
Positive ratings and reviews
Don’t just take our word for it. Hippo holds a 4.5 Google rating from real customers. And the people who’ve used us to compare quotes have saved an average of R539 per month on Car Insurance.*
You can filter the options
Want to filter by excess? Price? Cover level? The platform lets you rank quotes the way that matters to you.
Find a better deal on hippo.co.za
When you dunno… ask Hippo!
Insurance, Medical Aid, Loans, all come with a lot of question marks but Hippo is here to help you navigate it all.
As South Africa’s largest insurance comparison platform, we’ve been busy growing the panel too.
We’re now comparing quotes across 13 Car Insurance partners (with recent additions like Momentum Insure and Miway) and over 50 partners across all our products.
More insurers competing for your business? Sounds like more chances to find a better deal.
Car Insurance is only the start. Hippo also helps you find better deals on your Medical Aid, Personal Loan repayments, Life Insurance, Home Insurance and so much more.
Dunno if you’re paying too much? Or dunno which option is right for you? The answer is simple: when you dunno… ask Hippo.
When’s a good moment to check? Any of these:
- You’ve changed jobs, moved house or hit any milestone that affects your risk profile (you’ve just turned 25, or tied the knot)
- Money’s feeling tighter than usual (fuel prices, we see you)
- You can’t remember the last time you looked
Or… any time you’d like to save money. Even a random Wednesday works.
After all, the point of comparing isn’t to mark an occasion.
It’s to find out what you’d be paying if you signed up for your policy as the person you are today, not the one you were back then.
When it doubt, Hippo it (and save)!
The platform you’ve trusted all these years is still here. It just looks and feels a lot better.
Comparing quotes takes a couple of minutes and commits you to absolutely nothing. Come compare for yourself.
