Top-tier Fire Insurance Comparison Site 'i-Hoken' Significantly Renews Premium Simulation Feature

I-F Create Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tachikawa, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shinichi Ogawa), operator of the insurance comparison site 'i-Hoken,' has significantly renovated and relaunched its 'Fire Insurance Premium Simulation' tool on its fire insurance comparison website. This update enables users to compare and obtain quotes for products that previously required separate display—specifically, those requiring mail-in applications versus those available for online application—on the same screen. This allows users to smoothly select the fire insurance that best fits their lifestyle from a wider range of options. The background for this update lies in the need to cater to both the growing demand for the convenience of online applications and the persistent need for mail-in applications where users can consult with agents while reviewing coverage details. By seamlessly listing products with different application methods on the simulation results screen, the efficiency of comparison and evaluation is dramatically improved. 'i-Hoken' features 16 companies, ranging from major non-life insurance companies to small-amount short-term insurance providers. With this update, narrowing down the optimal plan from this vast selection has become even easier. Furthermore, the site supports various property types, including not only residential homes and condominiums but also offices, retail stores, factories, and properties for condominium management associations. Additionally, the simulation now reflects the October 2024 revision, where insurance premiums were segmented into five categories by municipality based on flood risk, allowing for a more in-depth comparison not found on competitor sites. 'i-Hoken' is one of Japan's largest insurance comparison sites, used by 4 million people annually.
