Motor Insurance Bureau Services at
the Car Insurance Supermarket
The UK's Motor Insurance
Bureau (MIB) underwrites uninsured drivers and is financed from the
premiums of insured drivers - to the tune of about £30 each.
Continuous insurance enforcement from April 2011 should help to drop
this cost.
The rest of this article uses the term 'motor insurance bureau' to
refer to generic car insurance service providers.
In our view, there is much
that an effective motor insurance bureau should offer the UK motorist
seeking good car insurance
cover at a cheap price.
This (theoretical) motor insurance bureau might reasonably
be expected to include: a range of price comparison services
to pick from, not just one; comprehensive listings of direct insurance
companies and brokers, not just one or two that pay big commissions;
information about current deals and offers; a highly detailed list of
tips to assist you to make a good choice; news items and unique offers.
We provide all of these at this motor insurance bureau,
all easily accessed via our homepage (link below) while, for ease of
access, all our key services are available via the links at the head
and foot of this page. We are always expanding and improving these
services to try to offer a truly comprehensive and useful service to
our site visitors. Regular repeat visitors would suggest that people
are getting what they want.
What, then, are the most used services here from our motor
insurance bureau? By far the most popular is our own quote comparison
system. Numerous people use this as their only route to find low cost
UK motor insurance online.
The next most popular here is also a price comparison service:
Gocompare, a brand that is better known than our own in-house quote
comparison service.
Tesco Compare, although an award-winning service, to which we also
provide access, is much less likely to result in a completed policy
sale than these other two price comparison services.
The next category of our motor insurance bureau services is
our 'direct' quotes service. Here, we include numerous well-known
UK car insurance providers - both companies and brokers - with brief
editorials alerting you to specific deals, discounts and their targeted
markets, where relevant. Thus, we include a women-only provider, for
example, and a young drivers' specialist.
The view from our motor insurance bureau is that our direct
services are under-utilized in favour of price comparison services
where quality control can be problematic.
As outlined above, here at our motor insurance bureau, we
also offer help and guidance for all categories of search and you can
select from our numeorus articles, starting with our 'information' page
(link below).
If you are looking for a competitive quote but with good cover as
standard, many of our motor insurance bureau articles
point out that going direct is actually a good choice. The routine use
of price comparison sites, although they have clear utility, is often
less efficient for those with a definite desire for better quality
cover.
