About Gocompare.com
Gocompare.com launched in November 2006 to help people find the right insurance cover at the best price.
It was founded by Hayley Parsons who has worked her entire career in the insurance broking and price
comparison markets. It was the first comparison site to focus on displaying product features rather
than just listing prices. We know that the cheapest price isn't always the best value option and at
Gocompare.com, you can compare both product and price details quickly and easily so that you can make
an informed choice.
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 our approach 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 comparison services in the UK, comparing
a wide range of products and services from a team committed to try and find you the right product at the
right price. Our Customer Promise demonstrates this commitment to you.

the cover that you need, meaning that you can see at a glance which policy gives you the right cover for
the right price.
