- About our insurance services
We provide an independent insurance and financial products quote service 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 provide a quotation service for car and home insurance products from a range of insurers. We do not provide financial advice and by submitting your details you are consenting to having your details passed to an FCA authorised insurance firm who will use the details provided to contact you via phone and/or email.
We will ask you some questions and pass your details to a call centre where an FCA authorised insurance firm will contact you. They will 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 are we 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.

What are your responsibilities?
- Insurance obligations
Once passed to the FCA regulated firm the quotations will be based on the information you have provided to us. Where we ask questions to help source quotations, you are responsible for:
Answering all questions honestly, completely and to the best of your knowledge, and for ensuring that any assumptions made are correct.
Failure to do so may lead to your insurance policy being invalid or an increase in cost. You may also be liable for any third party costs in the event of an accident.
- 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.
- 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.
- You must not misuse our website by knowingly introducing viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other material which is malicious or technologically harmful. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, the server on which our website is stored, or any server, computer or database connected to it.
