Buying a car is one of the biggest purchases most of us make, so while shopping for car insurance isn’t the most exciting purchase, it is one of the most important in that it gives you peace of mind and allows you to stop worrying about your car.

Most of us wouldn’t automatically choose to buy a car just because it’s the cheapest one available on the market – it would have to meet our requirements and be suitable for our day-to-day needs for us to want to make the investment. Purchasing car insurance should be similar – price should certainly be a factor, it might be the most important factor for you in making your decision, but it’s also important to ensure the cover you’re getting is appropriate for your situation. Sometimes the cheapest car insurance provides that, sometimes it doesn’t.

There is also the functionality to compare key features of different products to help you decide if you are receiving value for money, and that the level of cover available in your chosen product is right for you.

The Captain acknowledges that for many, price maybe a key factor in making a decision, but Captain Compare also provides tools that help you compare other factors as well.
