    So isn't it nice that some companies call you up to run through the quote details to check that everythings accurate so if you are involved in an accident

    It's a good point, but having had these calls myself, I'm pretty sure their job is not to make sure you haven't made a mistake. They just want to make a sale.

    Sometimes people want to get quotes before purchasing a particular model and aren't actually in buying mode but doing research.

    No reason why M Mouse cannot select one of his near neighbour's addresses to get the online quotes for, along with the 01234 phone number.

    I was ready to take up the A-Plan policy after their first call but the Meerkat's kept calling me back every time I was ready to take up the policy!!!

    I think that you are getting confused!

    If you want to compare meerkats, then go to comparethemeerkat.com, but if you want to save money on your car insurance, go to comparethemarket.com. Shimples... *squeak*

    :p;):D

    no - you have it all wrong - they actually employ meerkats. The credit crunch has hit some more than others
