Tescocompare.com tops Defaqto table for the second time running

Tescocompare.com has defended its top place as Defaqto’s best car insurance comparison site. Defaqto, an independent financial research company, carried out an analysis of 41 motor insurance comparison sites, assessing them for functionality and usability features. Tescocompare.com, which topped the tables in Defaqto’s previous analysis in October 2007, scored a rating of 77% this time, once again the highest score of all tested sites.

Defaqto highlighted Tescocompare.com as the best car insurance comparison website.

Commenting on the Defaqto research, Peter Dingle, Managing Director at Tescocompare.com said: "Once again Tescocompare.com has come out on top and this time Defaqto compared more than twice the number of comparison sites. It is fantastic that our proposition has achieved independent recognition of leading the way forward for insurance comparison sites, especially in light of the recent FSA announcement. Tescocompare.com strongly focuses on giving consumers easy to use information to allow them to compare not just the price of a policy, but also the product features, to ensure they are getting the right cover for their needs."

"Our customers also benefit from the fact that the price they are quoted on our site is the same if not cheaper than if they went to the insurer directly. We do not believe in making assumptions on behalf of our customers and hence the premium quoted will be the final price they end up paying for the selected policy.

"We are delighted that Defaqto has recognised our work to put the consumer first. We will continue to work on our proposition to make sure our customers can make an informed decision on the cover they are purchasing."
