MSE car insurance comparison tool quote different price on insurer's site

Options
I've used the MSE recommended price comparison tool which is from Moneysupermarket and has come up with the cheapest quote of £176. It asks you to 'Go To Site' to purchase it but when I get on the page, the price is showing as £211. I've not changed anything at all so anyone have any idea why that may be?

    You might not have changed anything, but something might have changed.

    Often does when you move from the aggregator's assumptions to the actual insurer's assumptions.

    Check the details on the insurer's site.

    Moneysupermarket owns MSE.    So, they are not going to recommend any of the others.

    Have you gone through the questions asked by the insurer?  Often, that results in the premium going down as the comparison sites don't ask all the questions, and sometimes the mapping of questions and answers isn't spot on.

  • Thanks folks I will give it a go again tomorrow when more time, I've got nearly a month yet. There were a couple of others within a few quid of that quote as well.
