Local insurance aggregator, hippo.co.za, has remodelled its Web site with a new look and more functionality.
Amanda Thomas, GM for hippo.co.za, says: “Online insurance shopping is gaining considerable traction, and the use of aggregators for sourcing insurance and all kinds of other products and services is becoming more popular. We must ensure that we can meet the demand for greater functionality, choice and convenience from this growing market segment.”
Hippo.co.za was modelled on UK and European-based aggregator sites. Thomas says the time is right for hippo.co.za to expand its offerings on the site.
Included in the new features on the site is the capability to source insurance quotes for up to five vehicles at once. In addition, it provides quotes for motorbike, quad bike and scooter insurance, as well as business, life, home contents, travel and buildings insurance, the company says.
Other new products consumers can source via hippo.co.za include personal loans, flights, car hire and accommodation quotes, cellphone insurance, personal accident insurance, funeral insurance (protection plan), and online shopping, as well as a search facility for new or used vehicles.
