How it works

Three steps to compare insurance in SA.

You stay anonymous until you decide an insurer is worth talking to.

Step 1

Tell us what you need

About a minute of questions. No ID upload, no paperwork.

Step 2

Compare insurers side by side

Independent ratings, premiums and claim turnaround times from 40+ SA insurers — in one view.

Step 3

Pick what actually fits

Choose the cover that suits your budget. We don't follow up unless you ask us to.

Transparency

How we make money.

CompareInsurance.co.za is free to use. We never charge South Africans for a comparison or for being introduced to an insurer.

When you choose to get a quote, the insurer you pick may pay us a referral fee. That fee never changes the premium you're quoted, and it never changes where insurers sit in our rankings — those are based on our independent editorial scoring.

If an insurer doesn't pay us at all, we still list them. We'd rather show you the right cover than only the ones paying us.
