The GoCompare Insurance Awards 2021
Helping you better protect what's important by encouraging excellence in car, home, and van insurance
A word from our CEO
Welcome to the first ever GoCompare Insurance Awards.
GoCompare was launched in 2006 to help people make better-informed decisions when buying their insurance cover. Our goal was to make the industry more transparent by showing people exactly what cover they were getting for their money, and keep challenging the industry to do better.
And now, with the GoCompare Insurance Awards, we need you to help us shine a spotlight on those companies who have excelled this year.
Lee Griffin, CEO of GoCompare
