Hippo Car Insurance
Several car insurance quotes from one form.
Read the guide →A comparison site lets you fill in your details once and see car insurance quotes from several insurers. It's a fast way to get a feel for the market, but it isn't the whole market, and the first price you see isn't always the one you'll pay.
Your policy is always with the insurer, never with the comparison site. The site is paid by insurers, which is why it's free for you.
Seeing several prices quickly, spotting when your renewal premium is out of line, and finding insurers you may not have heard of.
Missing insurers, quotes that change after checks, cheap prices that hide a high excess, and follow-up calls from every insurer you select.

Read the guide →Usually, yes, for you. Comparison sites earn money from insurers, typically a fee when you ask for a quote or buy a policy. Hippo, for example, says it's free for customers and charges brands a fee when customers ask for more information.
No. Each site only shows the insurers that have agreed to take part, and some large insurers don't list on comparison sites at all. Always check the big names you're interested in separately.
Treat it as a starting point. The insurer confirms the final premium and excess once it has checked your details, so the price can change before you accept.
Often, yes. Insurers you choose to hear from will contact you. Only select the insurers you're genuinely interested in, and say how you prefer to be contacted.
No. A comparison site shows you prices; a broker advises you, arranges the policy and can help at claim time. Some people use a comparison site to see the market, then a broker for advice.
Tracker Prices SA is an independent information site. We are not an insurer or a licensed financial services provider, and nothing here is financial advice. Insurer details are summarised from each insurer's own published information, last checked September 2026. Cover, benefits and prices change, so always confirm them in your quote and policy wording. For a complaint about an insurer you can contact the free National Financial Ombud Scheme.
Tell us about your car once and we'll arrange for quotes to be sent to you, so you can compare premiums and excesses side by side.
