Insurance Quotes
A competitive insurance industry means competitive insurance premiums. Are you sure you can’t get the same cover for less? Insurance premiums, though, are not the only factor to take into consideration when comparing insurance quotes.
The great thing about aggregators of online insurance quotes is that they let you compare more than just insurance premiums. By sending your details to each insurer at the same time you are able to compare their levels of customer service, the extent of their cover and the price of their premiums.
If anything, comparing insurance quotes gives you bargaining rights with your insurer to reduce the price of your insurance premiums. Insurers may be able to offer a discount to long-term clients to keep their share of the market. Online aggregators of insurance quotes enable you to compare the following.
Insurers’ response times
Aggregators work by sending your contact details to multiple insurance companies. As your details are automatically sent simultaneously to each insurer, they have the same starting point. How quickly they respond gives you an indication as to their levels of customer service. The quicker they are to get back to you with a quote, the more likely they are to process claims quickly or deal with complaints.
Extent of cover
When applying for insurance quotes over the phone you are given the opportunity to check how much the policy covers. The insurer has to inform you of the extent of the cover, the exclusions and your obligations with the insurance policy.

Insurance premiums
By comparing insurance quotes online you could get up to 35% off of your premiums. The insurance market in South Africa is competitive, which means insurers often have deals or special risk assessment to reduce the cost of their policies.
As the insurance quotes you receive are not obligatory, the only thing you have to lose are premiums. Some insurers may even offer the same premiums for increased cover.
