Review of Car Insurance Online


The online car insurance providers presented to the right of this article (links take you directly to their respective websites) have gone through a popularity screening process, given that we review the performance of all our car insurance online providers regularly and drop any that are not resulting in high volume sales.

As a consequence of this ongoing review of our car insurance online resources, some well-known brands have come and gone here. These popularity variations reflect national trends. Car insurance online providers review their policies and pricing regularly and some will deliberately sell at a slight loss for periods to grow their market share.

We review these trends in car insurance online brands and will update our listings to take account of them to bring our site users the best deals around.

To review our car insurance online policy information in relation to specific brands, the links at the foot of this page take you to our review pages for each of the
car insurance online brands that we currently support, a group that meets our 'survival of the fittest' criterion in terms of popularity with our users, a requirement that needs to be met in order for us to continue to present them here.

Stepping back and looking at the bigger picture, any car insurance online review might usefully reflect on when going direct to a leading brand is the best option and when using a price comparison site is more prudent; so we will now look at that question.

As the cost of car insurance online increases significantly, it's tempting to use price comparison sites every time to review prices and to find the cheapest quotes. Indeed, research has shown that consumers are reducing their level of cover to save money and are increasingly more likely to use a price comparison site. This, of course, is understandable, but there are risks to cutting back on cover should a claim be needed, given that a review of cheap car insurance online policies shows that they offer very limited cover and are associated with a high excess.

Many consumers that review car insurance online via a price comparison site forget that quality control is left entirely to the consumer. Careful inspection of policy features is therefore essential.

In view of this lack of quality control via a price comparison site, it remains a good idea to review one or two leading car insurance online brands (such as the quality-controlled brands presented here) as like-for-like their pricing will be competitive (otherwise we would have dropped them owing to a lack of popularity, given that pricing is the main determinant of that popularity).

If you remain anxious to use a price comparison site, the same argument holds - we only retain those most popular UK price comparison sites here. They are listed at the top of the column on the right of this review article. Their links take you direct to their websites and they are free to use - you don't pay any more than going direct.
