Our Service
Quidco provides you with a quote comparison system. We are an insurance intermediary and do not sell insurance to you directly. We allow you to use our systems free of charge to compare quotes from a number of insurers and you will then transfer to their website to buy the policy. The number of providers considered will be reflected in the quotation results screen where the quote indications are listed, when you will be able to see who the quote indications are from. We will not provide you with any advice on any product or quotation provided, nor will we be acting as your agent in any part of the sales process. You will need to make your own decision regarding the suitability of any policy for you in your individual circumstances. Your demands and needs will be assessed through a series of questions in our quote comparison system, which provides quotation results consistent with Your identified stated needs.
Our service is for non-commercial use only. It has been designed to allow private individuals or businesses seeking products on their own behalf to compare quotes.
Are We covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)?
We are covered by the FSCS. You may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations. This depends on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. For further information about compensation scheme arrangements go to: ww.fscs.org.uk.
Price Delivery
Companies change their prices and amend their rates on a regular basis. The price quoted to you will be accurate at the time of issue, and may change if your quote is resubmitted. As part of our service, we will send you an email confirmation of your prices. Remember, you will receive the same guarantee from the product provider as you would have received from them by going direct.
