We know managing finances isn’t something people like to spend ages on, so we do the hard work for them. We’re constantly improving our services to add the little things that make using Compare the Market as quick and easy as possible, like saving customers’ details to speed up new quotes and letting them set reminders for renewal dates.
Compare the Market compares the following products and services:
Car, van, motorbike and taxi insurance
Broadband, phone and TV packages
Energy (gas, electricity and green energy)
Who does Compare the Market work with?
We work with most of the UK’s top insurance, utility and money product providers to find great deals for our customers. Our searches don’t include every single provider or product in the market – a very small number opt out of all comparison sites, or some of the services we offer do not meet the strict partner criteria we use to protect our customers.
Find out more about our partners.
We make money when we find our customers a new deal on their household finances. For example, each time someone buys an insurance product or switches their gas or electricity tariff, having found their new supplier through us, we get paid a fee. See below for more details.
Sometimes we stop working with a partner. When that happens, we might still earn money if a customer found that partner through us before the partnership ended – but only if the customer went on to buy a product from them.

You sure can, here’s why:
We work with trusted providers to help you find some of the best prices
We don’t let commercial agreements affect how we rank your quotes. Sometimes, a provider may pay for an ad at the top of the page, but we’ll always label it clearly
We show you what suits your needs to help you make the right choice.
We’re focused on ensuring your data you provide is secure. We only ask you to provide the information we need for our comparison service. This information is passed onto our partners, so that they can calculate the results for you to find the best quotes and deals from our panel of provider products.
This means, when you select ‘go to insurer’, the insurance provider will already have your details, so you won’t need to enter them again. All you need to do is check your details are correct and read the policy information before purchase.
For more information, including further details on who can access your data, how long it’s kept and more, please see our see our privacy and cookie policy.
To check an insurance provider is regulated, see the Financial Services Register on the Financial Conduct Authority's website.
Some of our insurance providers are more commonly known by various different brand names. If you want to check whether your preferred insurance provider is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority you may need to go to the About Us section of their website to find the name of the regulated company.
