Service provided is useful. Getting multiple quotes quickly and easily in one place is very convenient. When capturing my age I had to scroll for longer than needed to get all the way back to 1978. Consider changing this to an input field where you can just type in the date.

It was easy because I didn't have to fill in my personal details I only entered my ID number and that was it. The option of having many quotes to choose from one app is really time saving....... WELL DONE HIPPO, WELL DONE ☺️

Hippo’s top tips to getting more out.
What is business car and Commercial Property Insurance?
This insurance cover protects your business assets from theft, fire damage or natural disaster. Depending on the policy you take out, it can also provide insurance cover in the form of financial compensation if your business activity is affected by the event in question.
Does my business need it?
Like all insurance policies, you don’t need it until you need it. What makes business car insurance and commercial property insurance especially important for small or medium-sized businesses is that it can cover both the property (as in, the brick-and-mortar building) as well as the machinery and equipment your business needs to keep running, and which would be very expensive to replace or repair. Company car insurance and commercial property insurance are vital for both large and small businesses – and anything in between. For example, if you’re running a small business and your laptop crashes, you could be out of action for a few crucial days. Similarly, if just one of your delivery vehicles breaks down, it could seriously harm your budding SME.

And by comparing quotes on Hippo, you’ll ensure you get the best cover at the best premiums.
Business Car Insurance versus Commercial Property Insurance
Whether you’re running a big business or a small-scale start-up, your vehicle, machinery or structure could be very expensive to repair or replace – and that’s before you count the cost of lost revenue due to the disruptions. This insurance gives you peace of mind that you’re covered.
What does business property insurance cover?
Commercial property insurance can have a much broader definition than the name suggests. Depending on the policy, it could cover anything that belongs to your business – including its machinery, computer equipment, and even the office furniture.
What does business Car Insurance cover?
Car insurance for business vehicles specifically covers your business’s vehicles or fleet, and is available as a stand-alone policy should you choose this option.
Which policy should I choose?
There are hundreds of policies available, catering to any kind of business. Tailored offerings include motor-only policies; tradesman cover; courier services (covering motor, tools and all risks); and many more. Other policy sections might include cover for fire damage, business interruption, office contents, theft, money stored on the business premises, electronic equipment, and more.
Do I need extra cover if I’m subletting my property?
Yes. If you have tenants in your building, be sure to include them in your business insurance, as they might well have a claim against you if their property is damaged due to a fire, for example.
What else do I need to know?
A key thing to consider when you’re choosing your business property insurance is the extent of the cover. Many South African businesses are underinsured – and that’s not a situation you want to find yourself in. Remember to insure your business property for its true replacement value, which might be quite different to what it originally cost. Some policies include an escalation clause, which will allow for inflation and for the continuously changing value of your business’s property Remember, also, to include any additional fixtures and fittings in your building. Insuring the brick-and-mortar structure is one thing, but what about elevators and air-cons?
