    Click through to the insurer from the comparison website and check that all the details are correct.

    Comparison sites receive commission from many insurers and/or negotiate special rates some of which they pass onto the customer which is why sometimes a quote can appear more expensive via a Cashback Site. However being as 100% Cashback Sites pass on more commission than a comparison site does, buying the insurance via a 100% Cashback Site should work out cheaper overall than doing so via a comparison site.

    Its not clear how often Comparison sites update the rates and/or how accurate the rates quoted by the comparison sites are so its possible that some rates could be more expensive on the insurers website than shown by the comparison site.
