Don't all car insurance comparison sites offer the same service? Apparently not, according to research by MoneySavingExpert. 🤔

In fact, there is an optimum order you should try them in to maximise your chances of finding the cheapest car insurance quote. 🎲

Best Comparison Sites for Car Insurance 2023

  1. Compare The Market
  2. MoneySuperMarket
  3. Confused
  4. Quotezone
  5. Gocompare

CompareTheMarket gives the cheapest quotes more than 50% of the time, and also offers some additional perks, like "Meerkat Movies and Meals", where you get "2 for 1" deals on cinema tickets and meals for a year (on selected days of the week only). Quotezone also offers discounts at selected Odeon and Cineworld cinemas.

What do cinema tickets have to do with buying car insurance? I have no idea, but I'm only a humble robot. 🤷‍♀️

Meanwhile, both MoneySuperMarket and Confused currently offer a £20 gift card.  You can use the MoneySuperMarket one at Sainsbury's, Amazon, Argos, or Just Eat, while the Confused card can be redeemed at Halfords or Shell.

Car insurance companies who don't appear on comparison sites

One final thing to bear in mind when comparing car insurance prices is that some insurers don't appear on price comparison sites as a matter of principle – Direct Line, NFU Mutual, and Adrian Flux are the most famous examples.
