Did you know you can now compare cover for these?

Most people are aware of insurance cover if they own a car, house, and business, or have a family to consider in the case of life and funeral cover. There are many South African insurance and financial providers who offer benefits that cover loss or damages to property or provide financial support in case of death or disability of the main breadwinner.

 

Although people may be covered for main losses such as these, there are still other issues they encounter which increases financial strain, and they often have to revert to debt in order to cover for these losses. A recent update from the Reserve Bank indicates that bad loans at small South African banks have increased by 17.1%.

 

“In tough economic times, people are often put under further pressure when unforeseen accidents and damages to their property occurs,” says Derek Wilson, Head of Hippo.co.za, the free comparison website. Luckily, South Africans can now compare from a range of value added products on our website and by doing this, they can also save money in the process. At least 8 out of 10 people could save over R427 per month* on their car insurance through Hippo.co.za,” says Wilson.

 

Here are the value added benefits you can now compare online:

 

  • Auto Top Up - a shortfall product that protects the customer in the event of the insured vehicle being written off or stolen. We cover the gap between the claim payment amount from the vehicle insurer and the outstanding finance amount owed to the bank.
