The increase in buying online has resulted in an increasing number of price comparison websites. Whilst they can provide information accurately and quickly there can be risks associated with using these sites.
Price Comparison Websites

Wherever possible always use an independent site or one that is recommended by a Regulatory Body such as:
You may have to provide personal information before receiving a quote so check that the site has a privacy policy and a tick box to ‘opt out’ of having your details passed onto other companies.
Also remember that a cheaper price might well mean a reduction in service so always check exactly what you are being offered.
