Hippo Insurance Quotes

Who, or What, is Hippo Insurance?

Hippo Insurance is a company that offers comparison quotes from different companies for all kinds of insurance as well as for other financial services, thus, often refered to as Hippo Insurance Quotes. Hippo.co.za is what is known as an aggregator site, meaning that it offers price comparisons for products. Hippo Insurance is part of the Telesure Group, which includes many insurance companies, such as 1st for Women, Unity Insurance, Auto and General, Dial Direct, Prosper, Budget Insurance, and more. Hippo Comparative Services, who run the website, was set up in 1979. The website itself allows users to fill in information about themselves and then receive a variety of quotes from different insurance companies for policies that fit their needs. The company is headed by T.J. Creamer, Leon Vermaak, and J.W. Wilken.

Hippo Insurance Quotes in the News

In 2013 Hippo Insurance were fined by the Enforcement Committee of the Financial Services Board for withholding information from their customers. Because Hippo Insurance is part of the Telesure Group, all quotes given on their website were from other Telesure insurance companies, and the company was not making this clear to customers. Hippo Insurance was fined R1 million and ordered to pay court costs. From their website it appears that Hippo Insurance quotes now come from a range of companies, not just those in the Telesure Group. A list of partner insurance companies on Hippo's website shows many companies that are not part of Telesure, so possibly this problem has been solved. However, using non Telesure companies would make less business sense for Hippo, so it's also possible that customers are now being informed that all quotes come from Telesure group companies. Of course, even if other companies appear on the site, there is no guarantee that Telesure Group companies are not given priority when Hippo lists quotes.

Where is Hippo Insurance Located?

Hippo Insurance is located alongside many other Telesure Group companies at Auto & General Park, 1 Telesure Lane, Riverglen, Dainfern 2191.

Which Services Do Hippo Insurance Quotes Provide?

Hippo Insurance provides quotes for most kinds of insurance, including home, health, vehicle, business and life insurance. Along with this, there are also Hippo quotes for other financial services as well as for travel and accommodation.

Life Insurance with Hippo Insurance Quotes

The process of finding life insurance with Hippo Insurance quotes is fairly simple. You select life insurance and then fill out a short form. This form asks for contact information along with a little information about you such as your job, whether you smoke, your level of education and your income. This added information will be used to ensure that you get insurance policies that are right for you. Many insurance companies charge smokers higher premiums, for example.

Quotes with Hippo Insurance: What Determines How Much You Pay?

When you receive a list of quotes you'll find that there will be a variety of different monthly premium costs. Your premium will be determined by a number of different factors, which might include:

  • Your age, with older customer generally paying more;

  • Whether or not you smoke or use tobacco products, something that causes many companies to charge higher premiums;

  • Your general health, some companies may require a medical exam;

  • How much coverage you wish to have, if you want to be insured for a larger amount you will have to pay a larger monthly premium;

  • Additional extras, since many companies will also offer to combine disability insurance or serious illness insurance with your life insurance plan;

  • Whether you're male or female, since some companies charge women less than men due to the longer life expectancy of women in general.

Customer Reviews for Hippo Insurance Quotes

The consumer review site Hellopeter shows 27 reports about Hippo Insurance quotes in the last twelve months. This is a very low number of reviews, meaning that we really can't rely on these to determine whether or not the services provided by Hippo Insurance are good. The most likely explanation for such a low number of reviews is that Hippo are only giving quotes, not actually giving the insurance service itself. Customers are more likely to post compliments or complaints for the actual insurance company they end up using, rather than for Hippo, who are only the mediators in this process. 

How User Friendly is the Hippo Insurance Quotes Website?

The Famous Hippo


We found the Hippo Insurance Quotes website easy to navigate and easy to use. Each different area (car, house, life insurance for example) can be accessed directly from a list of links at the top of every page. You're then prompted to fill in the information necessary to get your quotes. Hippo also provides plenty of FAQ pages, answering questions that customers might have about services such as life insurance, as well as a nice glossary of the terms that might be difficult to understand when reading your life insurance quotes. The only negative thing we found about the website is that some of the text is quite small and difficult to read, this is something that Hippo could easily improve.

Hippo Life Insurance Quotes: In Conclusion

Hippo Life Insurance quotes compare prices for life insurance with different companies to help consumers easily find a policy. Whilst Hippo's website does appear to list companies that are not part of the Telesure Group it's not clear whether these other companies will appear on your list of quotes, or even whether Hippo really does send quotes from companies that are not part of the Telesure Group. The website itself is very easy to use and there's plenty of information available. Consumer reviews of the company seem good, but with such low review numbers it's difficult to really know. Getting multiple insurance quotes from different insurance companies is always a good idea, and we suggest that you do get quotes from companies in addition to those listed with Hippo Insurance. By filling in the form above or the one found at the top right of our home page you can get up to 9 life insurance quotes for free.
