Used twice over the last week to get quotes for different scenarios. Both times the quotes loaded quickly, there was multiple options and as I had to leave the website, I got a WhatsApp after as well on which I could click the desired option which was nice

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.

What is a Car and Home Insurance combo?
Combo Insurance is exactly what it sounds like: Car Insurance, Home Contents Insurance and Building Insurance bundled in one policy. Instead of taking out cover with different insurers and potentially creating gaps in your cover, Combo Insurance allows you to combine your cover into one policy. Depending on the insurer, combining cover into one bundle, can lead to one, more favourable premium.
Differences between Car Insurance and Home Contents Insurance?
Car Insurance covers your vehicle against theft, accident damage and damage caused to third parties. Home Contents Insurance protects your belongings inside your home. furniture, appliances, valuables and personal items against events like fire, theft or a break-in. Both are separate products but can be quoted together through Hippo, so you compare and insure everything in one process.
What does comprehensive Car Insurance cover?
Comprehensive Car Insurance is the most complete level of vehicle insurance available. It covers theft and hijacking of your car, accidental damage to your vehicle, fire damage and damage caused to other vehicles or property in an accident. Many comprehensive policies also include emergency assistance and towing as standard. It's the right cover if you want full protection, not just cover for damage caused to others.
Does Home Contents Insurance cover theft after a break-in?
Most comprehensive Home Insurance policies do cover theft following a break-in. However, limited cover options may exclude theft or attempted theft, which means you'd pay out of pocket for stolen belongings. Always check your policy schedule to understand exactly what your insurer will and won't pay out on. If your home has security features like an alarm, burglar bars or electric fencing, these can also affect your cover options and premium.
Can I insure my car and home contents under the same policy?
Yes, that's exactly what Combo Insurance does. Rather than managing separate policies with different insurers and payment dates, you consolidate your Car Insurance, Home Contents Insurance and Building Insurance under one policy. Using a single insurer for multiple products can also reduce gaps in cover, simplify your monthly cash flow and may come with added benefits depending on your provider.
How do insurance claims work for combo cover?
The claims process depends on your insurer, but in most cases you submit a claim through your insurer's app, website or by calling their claims line. For Car Insurance claims, you'll typically need details of the accident or incident, a case number if theft is involved and your policy number. For Home Contents Insurance claims, you'll need to document the damage or loss. One of the benefits of bundling is that some insurers offer streamlined claims processing across all your products through a single service channel.
What is Building Insurance and do I need it if I rent?
Building Insurance covers the physical structure of your home, including the walls, roof, floors and fixed fittings, against damage caused by fire, natural disasters, storms and other insured events. If you own your home and have a bond, your bank will almost certainly require it as a condition of your home loan. If you rent, Building Insurance is your landlord's responsibility. As a tenant, what you need is Home Contents Insurance to protect your own belongings, your landlord's policy will not cover your personal property.
