Why compare

Your current insurer may not be the cheapest anymore

Your car insurance premium is not fixed — and your insurer is counting on you not noticing. Every year, quietly and without fanfare, insurers reprice their books. Sometimes it’s inflation. Sometimes it’s a bad claims year. Sometimes it’s simply because loyal customers rarely leave, and that makes them profitable to squeeze. The driver who got the best deal when they signed up three years ago is almost certainly no longer getting the best deal today — they’re just paying more for the same cover while a new customer at the same insurer gets a discount to join.

01

Premiums change constantly

Insurers reprice their books annually. Loyal customers often pay more than new ones for identical cover.

02

Switching takes 30 minutes

Most people who compare save over R3,500 a year. Switching is far simpler than people think.

03

Same cover, lower price

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does car insurance cost in South Africa?+
Most South Africans pay between R800 and R1,400 per month for comprehensive cover. Third-party only policies start from around R200–R300/month. Your exact premium depends on your vehicle value, age, driving history, and location. The best way to find your actual rate is to compare quotes directly. Read the full guide →
What is the difference between comprehensive and third-party car insurance?+
Comprehensive cover protects your car against accidents, theft, hijacking, fire, and weather damage — as well as damage you cause to others. Third-party fire and theft covers damage to other people’s vehicles plus fire and theft of your own. Third-party only is the most basic and cheapest option, covering only damage you cause to others. Read the full guide →
Which car insurance company is cheapest in South Africa?+
There is no single cheapest insurer — pricing depends entirely on your individual risk profile. King Price, Naked Insurance, and Budget Insurance are frequently competitive for lower-risk drivers. OUTsurance and MiWay are often strong on comprehensive cover. The only reliable way to find the cheapest rate is to compare quotes. Read the full guide →
Does car insurance cover hijacking in South Africa?+
Yes — but only if you have comprehensive cover. Most comprehensive policies in South Africa include hijacking as standard. Third-party policies do not cover hijacking. Always confirm hijacking cover is included when comparing quotes, and check whether your policy requires a tracker or immobiliser. Read the full guide →
What information do I need to get a car insurance quote?+
For most SA insurers you will need your full name, ID number, contact details, driver’s licence details, vehicle make and model, year of manufacture, and approximate annual mileage. With Compare Car Insurance, all you need to start is your name and phone number — the insurer collects the rest when they call you. Read the full guide →
Why did my car insurance premium increase?+
Insurers reprice their books annually based on claims volumes, inflation, repair costs, and your personal claims history. Even if you have not made a claim, your premium can increase because of broader industry trends. This is exactly why comparing car insurance every one to two years is worthwhile. Read the full guide →
Can I get car insurance with a bad credit record in South Africa?+
Yes. Most South African car insurers do not perform a formal credit check as part of the quoting process, so a bad credit record will not automatically disqualify you. Comparing quotes gives you the best chance of finding an insurer whose pricing works for your situation. Read the full guide →
