Aggregator boosts its home, travel and motor insurance panel

Confused.com has added five new partners to its list of providers for home, travel and motor insurance.

The new partners joining the home panel will be ASDA, Hastings Direct, and InsurePink. Both ASDA and Hastings Direct will be exclusive to Confused.com.

ASDA offers a wide-range of cover options to its customers including ‘new for old’ cover, accidental damage and cover for wedding and Christmas gifts. Hastings Direct also offers accidental damage and ‘new for old’ cover, as well as £500k cover for credit cards and a 30% no-claims bonus. InsurePink, part of the Equity Insurance group, will be donating £5 to the Pink Ribbon foundation with every home insurance sale, and Confused.com will be matching it.

FirstAssist has recently joined the travel insurance panel, with its getMY brand. getMy.com is particularly competitive for insurance that includes cover for pre-existing medical conditions.

1st Central will be joining the motor insurance panel. 1st Central is a new company, which has been established with a very clear focus on providing the right cover for its customers; its products will be exclusive to price comparison sites.

Peter Ablett, commercial director at Confused.com, said: “The addition of the new partners to our site is wonderful news and with our new website now live, our customers will be able to find the best policies at the right prices from one of the largest panels of providers in the market today.

"As a result of an influx of new partners in 2008, our average motor customer now has the pick of 40% more prices than they did at the start of 2008, and home customers get a massive 90% more prices to choose from.”
