poor forms on comaprison websites

What is it with comparison websites that many of them prompt me to give up halfway through because of their inflexible design?!

Many of them ask for an exact match for occupation but mine or my partners are often missing - so I can't proceed.

The silliest one is not offering the option of part-time status under the employment field - I've noticed though, on some, that by clicking on unemployed the option then appears which is ridiculous.

Marital status (though why this is relevant to home insurance is beyond me) often gives only the option of civil partner which is not correct if you are cohabiting.

Anyway congratulations to Tescos for being the most user-friendly but unfortunately a very expensive quote..

    Be very careful and check the details thoroughly if you do get quotes from comparison sites. I've gone through to the insurer to find details I have entered have been omitted or are wrong.
