Our aim is to apply a little
sense to the process of selecting the right car insurance for your car.
This site deals only with UK car insurance. We understand that it is
sometimes hard to know where to start given the plethora of online
insurance resources. That's why we provide this service to orientate
you to the best UK car insurance sites on the net. Every site to which
we link provides one-form quotes and a selection of value car insurance
providers, and, as we've selected the very best, you really are quite
spoiled for choice. Quite simply, all you need do is click on any of
the links you see below and you'll get the exact quote you want either
direct or via an aggregator.

We try not to overdo our
recommendations of specific insurance companies, prefering to recommend
websites that offer a range of services. However, a perennial favourite
on our UK sites is a Yes
car insurance quote. Although not the most important factor in
choice, we like the graphics and overall 'look' of the Yes site that
makes it a pleasure to use. The reason we raise it here is not due to
that, however. It is because a lot of those who get a Yes quote buy
their insurance. This is a good quality and value indicator. They have
a panel of 50 top insurers that they check, so it's much closer to a
price comparison system than most brokers. It's therefore a great
choice for anyone who is keen to avoid using a price comparison system.

| At the end of the day, 'though, most people will use a price
comparison service (also known as an aggregator) to compare
car
insurance. That's why our emphasis here is on good examples
of this
type of service. One such good example is the one linked to in this
section. Indeed this one from car-insurance-uk-supermarket (CIUKS) is a
highly popular aggregator and a firm recommendation from us.Most of the
time, the quotes generated won't
be beaten on price. Get more help...

| Obviously people like these
services because they are the best way to find cheap
car
insurance quickly and easily. You certainly couldn't check so many
quotes individually yourself. Given that cost savings are what most
people seek, it's easy to see why going direct to an insurance company
is less and less the norm. Get more help... |
| Interestingly, although they've
caught on in a big way for car
insurance UK, they are much less prevalent in most other countries.
This is because other countries tend not be flooded with multiple
insurance brands as is the case in the UK. The UK-uniqueness of
aggregators does not make them a bad thing, of course, they're just a
sensible response to the fragmented nature of the UK insurance market.

| Thus more and more people are
using these systems to compare
car insurance in the UK. In our view, somewhat contraversially
perhaps, most of them are using them incorrectly. They are using price
as the only determinant of choice. What they should actually do is
compare the best quotes in terms of cover offered, perhaps going for a
slightly more expensive quote than the cheapest on offer once the cover
has been properly researched. Get

| That information is not
available via the aggregator, they need to look at the insurer's own
website. But we suspect few of those using aggregators use them in this
way. All they want is cheap
car insurance and they buy the cheapest 'blind' to the policy they
have actually purchased. Get more help... |
| Scary as this is, you can do the
research easily and this, in itself, is no reason to steer clear of
using aggregators to compare
car insurance. You can't do better than the quotes they generate.
You just need to check things out yourself. And you can't rely just on
the informatrion provided by the aggregator. Get more help... |
| At the risk of repeating the
point, it is worth emphasising that the strength of the internet is the
ease with which you can find this sort of information; so there is no
need to dispair that an extra tear of activity is required when you use
aggregotors, it can and does remain a simple and straight forward way
to compare
car insurance quotes for the best possible quote. Get

| Having now posted several links
to the UK's top car insurance websites on this page, there is no need
to continue with more and more suggestions that run the risk of
confusing more than clarifying the task and intended aim of this site.
The final choice for you to compare
car insurance, if you have read this far and not selected, is this
site. Do check it out or select another above it. Get more help... |
| We do other insurance services
besides car cover and you can use one form quote services for these
too. So, if you want to compare
van insurance, you may want to check this
out if only too bookmark
it for later use. Alternatively, you can compare van
insurance right here. Get

| We'll stop there but if you need
some additional insurance listings, take a look at the insurers listings
pages
for some more wisdom on matters insurance (again just for the UK). It
does actually repeat some of the choices here, but if you have not yet
selcted from here, perhaps some additonal reinforcement of the
worthiness of these services is worthwhile. Get more help... |
