The independent research company Defaqto has rated Tesco Compare top after an analysis of 17 motor insurance comparison sites, assessing them for functionality and usability.

TescoCompare.com which is backed by the Royal Bank of Scotland and launched in September 2007, received the highest score of all tested sites with a rating of 87% and highlighting the site as offering 'the best overall service to consumers'.

Peter Dingle, Managing Director at TescoCompare.com commented... "We are delighted with the outcome of this report, which is a great result for consumers and us alike. The Defaqto report vindicates the stance TescoCompare.com took when launching our car insurance comparison site. Our users are able to type in all of their details to guarantee they get the right level of cover for their individual needs. Unlike other sites, we do not believe in pre-selecting certain criteria for them, such as fixing the amount of voluntary excess, with the sole aim to keep quotes artificially low".

Tesco has worked with it's participating insurance partners to ensure that premiums quoted on the site are what customers will be paying without any assumptions. TescoCompare.com currently quotes policies from around 30 insurers, such as Churchill, More Than, Sheilas Wheels and many others. TescoCompare.com is expected to extend the number of its range participating partners in the near future.
