Hippo Insurance

Hippo Insurance is a South African insurance quote aggregator, offering you the ability to compare insurance products, services and quotes from different insurance providers. To this end it has partnered with a number of top short-term and life insurance companies. This includes all the most notable names in the South African insurance markets, like Auto & General, DialDirect, 1st For Women and Budget Insurance. As for Hippo`s name, it`s anyone`s guess!

Hippo Insurance specialises in comparative insurance services in the car and home insurance sector, as well as life and business insurance. Its main offering is a handy online insurance shopping comparison tool. Users simply need to enter their details and requirements once via an online form, and then insurance quotes are presented for comparison.

Naturally the big advantage to this service is that it removes a lot of the time consuming hassle of getting insurance product information from all these different insurance providers separately and then collating them for comparison. The all-in-one interface is exceptionally useful for these purposes. Even if you use each different insurer`s website tools, you still end up having to repeatedly fill in the same information. This aggregating tool removes this tedious requirement. This sort of service has already become a very popular way of shopping for insurance overseas and the operators of the local version are confident that it will gain just as much traction in the South African market.

The website is easy to use and clearly set out, making getting insurance quotes and absolute breeze. It`s all centred on that quotation tool, so you don`t have to dig into the site to get it - it`s right there when you arrive. There is also a section of insurance tips to help you decide which insurance option is right for you, once you`ve received all your quotes. This is all done in a friendly and helpful tone that will appeal to all.
