Tesco’s price comparison website has announced that six new insurance providers will join its portfolio of companies from this week. The leading insurance comparison site already boasts a wide range of leading insurance companies on its website, and so the inclusion of another six top name providers will help customers find an even better deal on their car or home insurance.

The six new insurance companies signed up to the Tesco price comparison website have been revealed as Bell, Elephant, Lloyds, Halifax and Swiftcover, all of which will provide competitively priced quotes for car insurance which will be indexed on the comparison site’s quote results list.

Tesco say they are delighted to welcome the new insurance companies to their site as it will enable their customers to compare insurance rates across an even wider network of insurers, helping them to seek out the most competitive premium available.

As well as allowing customers to search for insurance quotes by price, indexing the cheapest rates first, Tesco price comparison site also enables customers to view their quote results via features and benefits according to what is most important to them.

Ultimately the inclusion of six extra leading insurance companies in Tesco’s comparison site can only lead to a better service for the customer as a wider choice of providers will lead them to a cheaper annual premium.

Car insurance industry gears up for its busiest month

With the new “61” registration plate due out this month, September is always a busy time for the car insurance industry with 330,000 new cars being registered in the coming four weeks.

If you’re one of the lucky 330,000 to be taking possession of a brand new vehicle this month, the advice from insurance caparison website GoCompare.com is to shop around for a great deal on cover. The price comparison site is anticipating 1.5 million searches for car insurance through its site this September as savvy drivers attempt to sniff out a bargain.

Last year figures revealed that 70% of drivers in the UK used a price comparison website to compare the cost of quotes for car insurance renewal across a range of providers. Half of those motorists who did, were successful in finding a much cheaper deal on their annual insurance, with the average saving from GoCompare.com customer standing at £354.35.

However for some drivers, the savings have been even more impressive. GoCompare.com customer, a 23-year-old computer programmer was sent a renewal quote of £1,640 for his VW Golf, but after comparing quotes on the site, he found a policy which saved him £821

Despite the rewards and the huge savings available to drivers who shop around for car insurance deals, figures showed that 12% of drivers have never switched providers. Many believe their customer loyalty will be rewarded with favourable rates on their annual cover, however this simply isn’t the case for most.

Following the release of an AA report which found that insurance premium rates for female drivers aged between 17-22 years have risen by 75, young motorists are being urged to shop around in order to find the lowest deals possible on car insurance.

The hike in insurance premiums couldn’t have come at a worst time for young motorists who are already struggling to keep up with the cost of motoring due to the increasing fuel costs.

A large proportion of the drivers who fall into this age group are in full time education at University of college meaning they have a limited amount of disposable income. For this reason, it’s essential that these drivers do all they can to seek out an affordable deal on motoring insurance to ensure they can stay on the road.

It’s been proven that shopping around for car insurance quotes can save drivers a substantial amount of money. In some cases the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive quotes found for a 20-year-old female driver have differed by 30%. With savings this good available, you can’t afford to not look around for a low cost deal on motor insurance.
