Car Insurance Comparison at Headlinehouse.com

Here, we offer a choice of car insurance comparison services. The most often used one of these price comparison resources is our own quote service, powered by Quotezone. The next most-used here is Gocompare while the award-winning Tesco Compare comes in third place.

All of these service offer the advantage of needing to fill in just one form to make a car insurance comparison of 100s, sometimes 1000s, of prices. So, it's quick and easy to do and in most cases will save you money on your renewal quote.

Not surprising, then, that these car insurance comparison services are popular here and elsewehere. We would contend however, that many people use them incorrectly.

To allow price alone to determine your policy choice, without considering the cover associated with those particularly cheap policies that top the car insurance comparison site listings puts you at risk in the event of an accident.

Clearly, a cheap policy is cheap because its provider has reduced the costs to the insurer in the event of a claim which means only one thing. The insured party - that's you - pay(s) more.

While plenty of people are willing to accept this when they use a car insurance comparison site, knowing that if their luck holds out it will never translate into a problem for them, to not know what they have signed up for in the first place is unwise.

Some of the cheapest policies have very high excess payments, for example, and, of course, do not have any features that could be considered 'extras' such as breakdown cover or replacement car arrangements. Indeed some features that some may consider 'core' requirements of a car insurance policy may have pricing caps on them.

While people tend to equate car insurance comparison with automated price comparison services, a proper comparison of car insurance takes account of the cover as well as the price.

In fact, those wanting relatively impressive cover at low cost should bear in mind that going direct for this to leading insurers is certainly a viable option. The market-leading insurers (links below) are competitive and you are highly unlikely to end up paying more than you need to for the level of cover selected even where you do not conduct your own car insurance comparison.

Our direct car insurance pages provide policy information to help you select the best matches for your needs and their popularity here is certainly justified from a quality perspective.

There is no doubt that popular car insurance comparison services are here to stay. People like bargain prices and to save money on their cover. However, we would suggest that an altogether more sensible approach, is, to use these services in a more circumspect manner than most do, applying a careful quality filter that, in many cases, will reject several of the cheapest quotes in favour of the kind of cover you would actually want in an accident.
