Interesting list, nice touch with the news links
I've used quite a few of those before, looking for car insurance takes me quite a while but the savings are worth it, nice list
These price comparison sites are the best way of getting cheap car insurance quotes in minutes rather than the usual ring around to all those call centers.
The watch out here is some of these sites claim 'they are the cheapest' and 'we compare 000's of quotes', avoid that lot and go for the ones where you can make sure your getting a cheap quote with the right level of cover and a good coverage of insurers. I found the best of the bunch to be gocompare.com, but you may have a different favorite.
Not just to compare quotes, but also to understand how insurance packages are designed to suit individual needs, so the more resources, the better.
Hey Thanks for the good resources!
