Comparison websites 'change insurance buying' - Home insurance

Posted : 29-08-2008

The use of price comparison websites has changed the way people buy their household insurance cover, it has been claimed.

According to insurancewide.com, which claims to be the original online insurance comparison service, the use of such websites is the "best option" for customers and there is no real alternative for busy consumers.

In addition, the firm claims the whole insurance price comparison field is making good progress, despite the service being difficult to provide as each customer is different and has unique needs.

To resolve this, the organisation recommends asking the consumer the right questions and providing them with a good idea of what household insurance cover they will get for their money.

A statement from insurancewide.com said: "A well-designed site allows the customer to enter precise insurance needs and a precise profile so that no false assumptions are made before directing them to relevant insurers and to an accurate price with no surprises."

Earlier this week, price comparison site moneysupermarket.com recommended students in halls of residence look into joining the parent's home insurance to save them money.
