Ctrl

Ctrl is a South Africa’s first independent car and household insurance advice app. But let’s backtrack a bit. Before we became Ctrl, we were just a few friends who noticed the frustrations people had with their insurance and the uncertainty about what they were covered for and what not. We thought, surely there must be a better, simpler way. There must be a way to have more say and be less dependent on call centre agents, or brokers who expect you to fill out endless forms. That’s when we formed Ctrl and started building an app that would give consumers more control – an app that would create a convenient short-cut to getting decent short-term insurance and solid advice to go with it.
