Confused.com sees dramatic increase in insurance quotes
27th March 2008
Confused.com revealed today (Thursday, March 27th) that, following the announcement of its £1 million promotion, it has seen a record-breaking week of insurance quotes.
The insurance comparison service maintained that nearly half of consumers were now buying their insurance online, as factors such as rising utility bills placed greater emphasis on the importance of saving money.
Confused.com also noted that its services were used by a third of those consumers going online to purchase insurance cover.
Debra Williams, managing director of Confused.com, commented: "The aim of our £1 million giveaway is to motivate people to shop around for a better deal on their insurance and these record-breaking figures clearly show that it is working.
"Debt is at an all-time high and in these times of heightened financial awareness consumers need to make insurers compete for their custom by offering the most competitive price.
"People could save hundreds of pounds on their car and home insurance just by shopping around for a lower quote and using a comparison site like Confused.com means that we do the hard work for them."
