Comparison sites are not always the best way to buy insurance
Many people turn to comparison sites to look for the cheapest insurance, but that’s not always the best way.
The policies you’ll be offered are fairly generic so if you want a policy that meets your individual circumstances it might be better to use one of our contact.
Advantages of using one of our insurance industry contacts
Here are a few reasons why it might be the best choice to use one of our partners for insurance policy advice:
- Getting expert guidance does not cost you more
Like comparison sites, theses advisors get paid commission by the insurance provider for selling their products, so you don’t pay them a fee for shopping around to get you a good deal. Unlike comparison sites they have specialist expertise and can give you guidance on the products that best suit your needs.
- Know your options:
Insurers won’t always offer you every type of cover when you go directly to them. Our part brokers can help point out the types of cover available for the insurers they cover and help you work out what you need.
- Find the right product for you
Our partner broker will ask you about your personal circumstances to find you the right policy. They’ll also be able to tell you if you’re already covered by your existing insurance policies, so you don’t overlap, and they will often get you a good deal by comparing prices and product features. They can also be more flexible on price than comparison sites.
- Find a specialist provider
On comparison sites you might not find cover for things – like income protection or critical illness – that need to be tailored to suit your needs. You also won’t find special or bespoke cover on there, so if you want to insure something unique like a high-value antique or a collection, a broker will know where to go.
- Your claims are taken care of
If you need to make a claim, your broker might speak to loss adjusters and claims departments and do as much as possible for you, so you don’t have the hassle and worry.
