Aggregator websites have been slammed by specialist insurance website www.protection-insurance.com for providing inaccurate insurance quotes.
Jason Hulott, business development manager, said aggregator sites: “provide quotes based on limited criteria and therefore give inaccurate quotes, inevitably wasting the customers' time and money”.
“With insurance aggregators, although it may appear initially that you are saving time and effort as you only need to complete your personal details once in order to generate several quotes...the results shown are not always a true reflection of what it will really cost with the insurer.
“This is because when you actually apply through that insurer, the premium that you are quoted can be wildly different from that generated by the aggregator site, who would have prepared your quote based on some default or pre-completed answers."
