We make money by charging the insurance provider a specific rate or commission for every sale they make through our site, this however does not increase the final cost of the premium, as we allow the insurance providers to appear on our quoting systems for free, and since we carry out all the advertising for them it means they don’t have to charge higher prices to cover the commission.

Whilst all price comparison sites operate in a very similar way there can be variances in some of the questions asked as well as some of the options available as answers, these may lead to a marginal difference on the prices of some insurance policies. Also some price comparison sites may display an exclusive price, however be sure to read all the details as the cheapest cover may not always be the best policy.

We provide a comparison service for well over 60 different insurance products, as well as providing you with directories for insurance we currently do not cater for. You can find a definitive list of all our insurance products here

We benefit from a flat rate/commission-based earning from each insurance provider each time a sale is made, so we have no incentive to promote any particular company ahead of another, and operate 100% impartially across all our insurance products.
