GoCompare very expensive

Martin seems to suggest that the above is the best place to get house insurance quotations. They quoted a price more than twice that of other companies I went to direct such as More Than.

    Yes comparison sites are not always the cheapest. I just use them as a guide and then approach companies directly for quotes.

    Also use several comparison sites as the premiums vary between the different sites for the same Insurers. This I believe is due to the different comparisons sites charging Insurers varying levels of commision.

    Don't rule out going back to using a decent local broker (not Swintons) as they often can obtain a competively priced policy.
    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.

    you can get cash back at several of these places if you go to them via www.topcashback.co.uk

    I saved £80 on my car insurance that way.

    But cash back would never be as much as £200+ which was the difference between quotes from other companies and Go Compar's best price would it?
