Tescocompare.com: Which? report on price comparison sites

Matt Dransfield, Car Insurance Expert at Tescocompare.com responds to the Which? report on price comparison sites: "The Which? investigation highlights some important short-fallings of the three price comparison sites reviewed. These short fallings simply aren't present with Tescocompare.com. We are disappointed that Which? did not take the time to review the price comparison site market more thoroughly - as we believe their conclusions would have been different. Our site is certainly proving very popular with consumers.

"Our price comparison site compares over 25 product features, the price customers are quoted is the price they pay and we guarantee that the price quoted on Tescocompare.com will be the same or cheaper than if they went directly to the insurer. This means that consumers can rest assured the price won't go up when they buy the policy. When you buy a tin of beans in a Tesco store you don't expect the price to change from the aisle to the till - we apply the same principle to Tescocompare.com.

"Tescocompare.com - unlike other sites - does not list any sponsored links, where product providers 'buy' space to be listed or mentioned despite possibly not being the best option for the consumer. We simply return the best matches for the consumer and then allow the consumer to compare which of the returned results is the best policy for their needs."

Tescocompare.com allows consumers searching for car insurance or home buildings and contents insurance to compare 25 different policy features – as well as the premium quoted. Comparing on more than just price allows consumers to choose, not just the cheapest policy, but also the one which is right for them.

Tescocompare.com differentiates itself from other comparison sites by the fact that the premium quoted will be the price that consumers pays, assuming they don’t change the level of cover they need when they click through to the insurer. Also, the price quoted on Tescocompare.com will be the same or cheaper than if the customer went direct.
