The Israeli insurance market is complex, with multiple product types — compulsory car insurance (hova), comprehensive (makif), third-party (tzad gimel), home insurance, and supplementary health insurance — each offered by dozens of insurers with different pricing structures and policy terms. Manually comparing across 20+ providers requires significant time and expertise, and consumers often overpay due to lack of transparency. This skill aggregates data from the CMA calculator, Hova.co.il, Shukabit, and Wobi to enable fast, informed comparisons.
