Online comparison site takes hassle out of shopping around for home insurance

comparethemarket.com, the price comparison website, has today (29 January 2007) launched its home insurance quote service, putting a stop to endless hours searching for the best deal - instead providing a range of competitive quotes at the click of a mouse.  

Designed specifically to address the needs of the busy consumer, comparethemarket.com is a one-stop-shop, offering the best possible prices from over 15 big name insurance schemes.

Visitors to the site only need to enter their details once. These are automatically saved and allow quick access to a range of quotes whenever required.  A fully animated robot, Ziggy, acts as a guide through the whole online process - making it as simple and efficient as possible.

Originally offering car and van insurance, comparethemarket.com is expanding its portfolio to include home insurance. This will help meet the demand of more and more UK consumers who are relying on price comparison websites to ensure they get the best possible deal on their chosen product or service.

Consumers using the site can expect to get building and content quotes from big name insurance providers such as Zurich, AXA, Norwich Union, Legal and General, with others regularly being added.
 
Jeremy Moll, managing director at comparethemarket.com said:  "Consumers today have better things to do than spend hours repeating the same details again and again in order to find the best deal."

"Our research shows customers are beginning to get more switched on when it comes to checking they are not paying over the odds on their insurance. This time of year in particular sees more of us looking to reduce our outgoings to compensate for Christmas overspending, making price comparison websites like ours useful as they can instantly highlight potential savings."

Since its launch, comparethemarket.com has developed a range of affinity solutions through partnerships with online e-tailers such as SimplySwitch, PriceRunner and Auto Trader, ensuring customers have access to information which will ensure they get the best deal on a range of products.

Future additions to the site will include a wider range of products, with the goal of saving the consumer time and money on all their insurance needs.
