MSE Car Insurance compare+ tool

Having spent 10 mins filling in the compare+ tool to reduce my car insurance premiums, you can imagine my glee when the best quote it could come up with (changing absolutely no details to last year), was £87.07 MORE than my renewal quote from my current provider. Well done MSE!!!

    MSE is just its parent company (MoneySupermarket) engine in different clothes. Sometimes your renewal quote is the best quote available.

    It has done its job.  It has allowed you to compare what you have against what may be available.  You are now aware of what is priced best.
