Hastings Direct car insurance and Confused

salthepal

I found a competitive quote on Confused for car insurance with Hastings Direct Premier.
I then went onto the Hastings site which said that all quotes have to be made from scatch. I subsequently did this, but ended up with an extra £80 added on to the Confused quote.
How do I achieve the original price and successfully go through Quidco?
Thanks in anticipation.

Contact Confused and ask them. They should be able to tell you.

I am little surprised that Confused allow Hastings to require all information to be entered again from scratch. Ask Confused about this.

I can link through from Confused to the lower Hastings quote, but when trying to go to Hastings from Quidco you have to start from scratch. You cannot put in a saved quote id.

Thanks for replying.

You aren't using the confused quote if you are going through Quidco!

The insurer is pricing the quidco quote accordingly!

The £80 difference will be to do with your cashback, which presumably you won't get if you buy via confused??

Hi Sally,

If you would like any assistance I would be happy to help, I would however need to know the specifics of the policy so if you could send me an email I will have a look for you.

Many Thanks

Is it correct that hastings price quotes via confused differently (and cheaper) to quotes via cashback sites like quidco?
