Telephone insurance

Telephone sales operators are trained to help you with van insurance quotes and the ability to ask you questions directly is an advantage. However, a disadvantage is you will have to go though a number of lengthy phone calls to various van insurance providers before you're able to compare quotes. Something else to be aware of is that some insurance companies may employ an aggressive sales pitch which can intimidate or even leave the customer purchasing cover they don't truly want.

Being able to compare many insurance companies and select any extra cover you may require is one of reasons the Gocompare.com service stands out from using insurance companies directly.

Is the cheapest quote automatically the best?

No! More recently insurance companies have been offering policies with less cover included. Their reasoning is that there will always be some customers who simply wish to pay the lowest cost to be insured and legally entitled to drive on the road. It may well be that they don't drive that often and have a proven claim-free record which leads them to believe that they require nothing more than the most basic cover available. While this approach may seem to be a money saver at the time, the potential losses you could incur should there be a claim and/or personal injury involved, could far outweigh the savings made when the policy was taken out. The best way to go about buying an insurance policy is to have an idea of what cover you want included and find a company which informs you of the benefits of each policy they offer. At Gocompare.com we ask you what cover you want during the quote process and show you which policies have the cover you requested and naturally which of those is the cheapest quote, leaving you to decide the best option for your insurance needs.

Why has the price increased?

If you've spent the last year claim free, keeping the same vehicle and not adding any drivers, not changing address and managing not to add any convictions to your policy you may find yourself wondering why your insurance renewal is more expensive than last year.

No matter what the reason is for increased or even matching prices, it is in your benefit to shop around in order to find the most competitive quote with the right cover for you.

Gocompare.com will search the UK market and offer some of the most competitive quotes available saving you the time and trouble it takes to go to each individual company repeating the same details time and time again. And asGocompare.com is an online service you don't have to wait for an office or call centre to be open, our website is accessible to you 24hrs a day.

Policy extras or ancillaries

Insurance companies will offer extra cover or ancillaries with your insurance. This can range from legal assistance to breakdown cover etc. Dependent on the type of cover you are after and the total cost you can afford, it may well be in your interest to accept extra cover, though you should be wary of exactly what the extra cover includes. Some insurance companies will offer legal assistance but the costs that you are covered for, will vary dependent on whom the legal assistance is with. At Gocompare.com we make sure you're able to choose from the different ancillaries our panel offers before you receive a quote, so you can see what the total cost will be and which insurance policy is right for you.
