Gocompare.com adds new insurance brands to become the first comparison site with over 100 car insura

(SANEPR.com) April 6, 2009 -- Gocompare.com has become the first comparison site to compare over 100 different car insurance providers in one place, underlining its position as the UK's number one car insurance comparison service.

Over one million motorists a month compare their car insurance with Gocompare.com and it now takes just a matter of minutes to compare a quote against up to 101 different car insurers and brokers. No other comparison service allows you to compare a car insurance quote more widely.
Gocompare.com has actively recruited specialist insurers and brokers such as Flux Direct to their panel as they can often offer more competitive products and premiums to customers with specific needs. They sit comfortably alongside the mainstream insurance companies and comparison site only insurers such as 1st Central.

Nissan Insurance has joined the panel, along with Flux Direct who's products may suit younger drivers or those with modified cars. These brands join other specialist insurers such as Performance Direct which can be particularly competitive for performance, prestige and classic cars, ibuyeco which is aimed at drivers who want to off-set their carbon emissions and Sheilas' Wheels which caters for female motorists, as well as mainstream insurers such as esure or Swiftcover.

Hayley Parsons said: "Offering over 100 insurance providers on the panel is a major strength but having a real breadth of insurers and brokers able to offer tailored products to meet some customer's specific needs is equally as important. A town with 100 stores may sound great, but if all of them were the same it would be a pretty pointless place to go shopping.

"Our car insurance comparison caters for younger drivers through to senior citizens, covering cars from Fiestas to Ferraris. With more insurers and brokers to choose from than anywhere else, our breadth of coverage across the motor insurance market is unrivalled."

About Gocompare.com

Gocompare.com launched in November 2006 to help people find the right insurance cover at the right price. It was founded by Hayley Parsons who has worked her entire career in the insurance broking and aggregator markets and was the first comparison site to focus on displaying product features rather than just listing prices. It was this philosophy that led to Gocompare.com becoming the first price comparison site to be invited to join the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) in May 2008 and helped force older comparison sites to change their ‘quick quote' ways and stop using assumptions to calculate estimated figures.

Today, Gocompare.com provides one of the most comprehensive online car insurance comparison services in the UK as well as comparing home, motorbike, van insurance and breakdown cover.

Gocompare.com is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
