Insurance is a Complex World
Searching for insurance cover online can be difficult, the choices offered are continuously evolving, with many different providers offering the same type of insurance but with different coverage and limits. Ask yourself this;

3) You do realise that you are entering into a binding contract directly with an Insurer?
Whilst consumers can easily compare a small number of similar policies, ‘similar’ doesn’t mean identical, thus causing problems in the event of a claim. Imagine you are presented with six or seven different policies from different providers from Google, deciding which policy is most appropriate for your needs and what are the key differences is key.
