A new survey has confirmed Moneysupermarket.com as the best price comparison site for motor insurance.

The results of the survey, conducted by the independent market research group Ipsos MORI, showed that Moneysupermarket returned the lowest car insurance premiums for nearly twice as many profiles as its nearest competitor.

The survey used mystery shoppers to compare 100 quotes for different makes, models and ages of car at postcodes from across the UK with the six main insurance comparison sites including moneysupermarket, Tesco Compare, Confused, Gocompare, comparethemarket and Uswitch.

A spokesperson for Ipsos MORI commented on the survey results... "Findings from the mystery shopping exercise showed moneysupermarket.com is almost twice as likely to provide the cheapest annual premium for motor insurance compared with other leading comparison sites. In 42 out of 100 tests, it delivered the best, or equal to best, quote in terms of price: this is well ahead of its nearest rival."

Managing director of insurance at moneysupermarket.com, Richard Mason added... "Ipsos MORI's findings confirm drivers can rely on and trust moneysupermarket.com to find them the best insurance deals. We obtain quotes from 60 different insurers and insurance brokers which is why we are able to find highly competitive premiums across all areas of the market."

These results together with those from other market research confirm that consumers shouldn't just rely on their existing insurer or the most visible brands to offer the best deals. Comparing your needs and circumstances with as much of the market as possible is often the most effective way to ensure you get value for money from your motor insurance.
