Dunno if you’re paying too much for Car Insurance? Here’s how to find out
Be honest: when last did you check whether your Car Insurance premium is still a good deal?
Really think about it. Your circumstances change, your car ages, your driving habits shift and the reality is, the cost of insurance moves right along with all of it.
That doesn’t mean your insurer is ripping you off.
It just means the number you agreed to when you signed up was based on the person you were back then.
Maybe you started working from home or moved into a security complex or added a few claim-free years to your name.
Any one of those factors could change what you’d be quoted if you signed up for Car Insurance today.

The “I’ll get around to it” trap
If there’s a real chance to save money on Car Insurance… then why aren’t more of us making the switch?
Well, it’s probably because switching feels like a mission.
So, we tell ourselves we’ll get around to it “eventually”, and eventually never quite arrives.
Instead, we keep on letting that same-old debit order go off every month.
With Hippo, you fill in your details and get multiple quotes back in minutes. That’s it. No spam calls, no fuss.

Don’t just chase the cheapest number
The lowest premium isn’t automatically the best one.
A cheaper price means very little if the cover leaves you exposed when you need to claim. So when you compare, try to look past the monthly figure. Check the excess amount and the level of coverage. With Hippo’s new platform features, you can filter these sorts of things.
Hippo’s comparison platform helps you compare quotes to find a policy that fits your needs and your budget at the same time. And if you end up paying a little less each month in the process, then that’s a double win.
So, what could comparing really save me?
We’re so glad you asked.
Independent research found that 81% of South Africans who compared their Car Insurance on Hippo found a cheaper option.
Among those who did, the average saving was R539* a month.
That’s almost R6,500 back in your pocket over a year, often more.
And that’s money that you’re saving without changing your car, your home or your lifestyle.
All you’re doing is comparing and finding a better deal.
It really doesn’t have to be a whole thing
With Hippo you can compare multiple quotes and insurers in just two minutes. Every brand on the panel is vetted, and Hippo doesn’t add any commission or mark-up to the quoted price, so provided all your details are correct, the number you see is the same number you would get if you went directly to each insurer.
