What do car insurance quotes mean and how can I compare them simply?

A CoverWise Team Answered by

A car insurance quote is an estimated price for covering you and your vehicle, based on details such as your age, address, driving history, car and expected mileage. Check whether each quote is for third-party, third-party fire and theft, or comprehensive cover, as these provide different levels of protection. Compare the excess, exclusions, limits and optional extras as well as the headline price, making sure the information you provide is accurate. Prices and cover are set by individual insurers, so read the policy documents or ask an FCA-authorised provider if anything is unclear.
