Buying car insurance online in UK

December 26th, 2007 · No Comments

Owning a car comes with a few other responsibilities like maintaining the car, renewing road tax and car insurance. Having to remember the date for renewal is a mental stress for me. I hate to be caught by enforcement officers for driving without a valid road tax or car insurance. The next challenge is to find attractive car insurance quotes and decide which is the best and cheapest among them.

There is an England-based online insurance company GoCompare which provides various car insurance quotes for comparison. In order for GoCompare to work out quotations for you, it requires you to provide very detail information about yourself, other registered drivers and the insured car. Information about your past driving history and medical history are used to compute an insurance quote.

GoCompare has a 5-star rating system to help inform you of the insurer’s product closeness to your needs. The more stars an insurer has, the closer the product is closer to your needs. This helps you to focus on products that match your requirements and offers cheap car insurance.

GoCompare will then publish insurance quotes with associated 5-star rating from about 60 insurance companies operating in United Kingdom. However, not all companies will provide you with a quote. These companies will depend on the information that you provided to generate a quote for you. Some may even decline to give you a quote.

After receiving the quote, you can select quotations from various companies and ask GoCompare to make a comparison among them. Factors which GoCompare among these insurers are accidental damage excess, legal assistance, courtesy car, windscreen cover, personal accident, breakdown cover, protected non-claim bonus, 24 hours claim service, UK call centers services, buy online option, free European Union coverage, payment by installment and various coverage types.

Once you have decided on the insurer to buy your insurance, you can buy it online. Payment can be made online via credit cards.

Besides car insurance, GoCompare also provide insurance quotes for vehicle breakdown, house, motorbike, van, pet, travel and life. Basically, they operate in the same manner where detail information is gathered from you and various quotes with their corresponding 5-star rating will be generated. Finally, the choice is your.

While GoCompare can offer good product offerings, it lacks in term of customer service. It does not have any phone numbers for customers to call to inquire more about the products. It only offers email addresses for customers to write in.

Other than this minor setback, GoCompare is a good place to purchase insurance online.
