About our services

We provide an independent and online insurance and financial products comparison engine that has been designed to save you time and money. Not only do we strive to find you the most competitive quotes for insurance or financial products and services, we also aim to provide you with the information you need to make an informed choice on which policy or product best suits your needs.
We compare insurance policies from a range of insurers on different products (car, home, life, travel, pet, wedding, funeral, gadget etc.).

We will ask you a few questions and produce a list of quotations based on the answers you give and provide the information you need to help decide which is the right policy or product for you. This will enable you to make your own choice about how to proceed. We don't offer advice or make recommendations.

How do we get paid?

You will not be charged for using our website. Instead, when you use our website to buy a product or service from a third party, that third party pays a commission to us click here for more details on how we are paid.

What are your responsibilities?

Insurance obligations

We will provide you with quotations based on the information you have provided to us. Where we ask questions to help source quotations, you are responsible for answering all questions accurately (failure to do so may lead to your insurance policy being invalid or an increase in cost).

In order to accept a quotation provided by us you will need to link to the underlying insurance company website and retrieve your details or, where applicable, contact them by phone.
Before purchasing a policy it is extremely important that all the information the insurance company holds on you is accurate. You should therefore ensure that all information you provide to us is complete and accurate. Neither we nor any insurance providers will check this information for you. Again, failure to do this may lead to your insurance being invalid or an increase in the cost of that policy.

It is important that you read the insurance company's terms and conditions to check that you understand and agree with them. The insurance company's terms and conditions are not the same as ours and they will be the terms you agree to when you accept a quotation.
It is important that you read all insurance documents issued to you and ensure that you are aware of the cover, limits and other terms that apply. Failure to comply with the insurer's terms and conditions could invalidate your policy.
You should also check that all your details on the policy documents are correct, including any assumptions that may have been made on your behalf by the insurer. If the information supplied by you is not correct, it is your responsibility to notify the insurance company. Failure to inform the insurer of any errors or missing information could invalidate your policy.

Other obligations

You must keep your password confidential and it must not be disclosed to or shared with anyone. You are solely responsible for all use of your account on our website.
Where you provide information about any other individual (e.g. a named driver) you are confirming to us that you have their authority to do so.
