Comparison Websites

Have just spent the last half hour, trying to find a cheaper quote
However, they seem to be misleading in their prices
I put in my selection criteria, ie want protected claims, courtesy car, and £100 excess
Now all the prices that come up, have these boxes checked, but once you click through to the Insurance Companies' website, the basic price stays the same as on the comparison ones, but then all the things i listed as 'must-haves' (which seemed included), now seem to be optional extras at additional cost, so the prices jump by at least £50 from the original quote
Is this a new ploy, as i dont remember this happening last year, when i was searching

This happened to me on Wednesday with Moneysupermarket.com for contents insurance, I've reaised it with moneysupermarket.Click here for Martins (MSE) advice on who to contact with Debt Issues - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO USE A FEE PAYING DEBT MANAGEMENT COMPANY- THEY CANNOT DO ANYMORE FOR YOU THAN THOSE LISTED IN MY LINK ABOVE.
All information given by myself is offered informally and without prejudice - if in doubt seek help from a qualified and insured professional0 -
I found this happening quite a lot when I worked for an insurance company. Also, sometimes the details are passed through incorrectly, especially claims history, occupation and convictions.0
