One broker, one panel
No broker compares every insurer. The quote you get is the best of the panel that broker happens to have — not the best of the market.
Every broker earns commission from the policy it sells you — and every broker only shows you its own panel of insurers. A second quote costs you nothing and can change the deal completely.
Answer three quick steps and ask a specialist broker to search suitable policies.
Most UK insurance brokers charge you nothing directly — they take a commission out of your premium instead. That has three consequences worth knowing before you buy.
No broker compares every insurer. The quote you get is the best of the panel that broker happens to have — not the best of the market.
Commission rates differ between insurers and products. Two brokers can quote the same cover at different prices — or steer towards different insurers entirely.
Because brokers are paid by insurers, getting a competing quote costs you nothing. If the second broker beats the first, you win. If not, you have confirmation.
No broker automatically covers every insurer or every policy. The useful question is whether the panel behind your quote includes suitable options for your circumstances — and whether a different broker's panel prices them better.
See beyond the premium. Compare cover limits, exclusions and underwriting on the same basis, not just the monthly figure.
Test the commission effect. A second broker with different insurer relationships may quote the same cover for less.
Lose nothing by asking. Competing quotes are free and carry no obligation — the worst outcome is confirming your first quote was good.
Free to request and no obligation. The broker will explain the insurers it can compare, any fee and how it receives commission.
We don't rank named brokers. Our broker pages explain why comparing matters — they do not claim any named firm is expensive or poor.
