Anyone know an online site where you don't have to give phone numbers email addresses etc, just want a quote.
Just use fake details and a [url= http://www.mailinator.com/ ]throwaway email[/url] account.

I used gocompare a while back, there is a opt out checkbox under a link, read about it on moneysavingexpert, and it worked, no follow up calls.
Or just go direct to M&S they seem to come up with good deals for most at the moment 🙂
Ta, Go compare was the one. M&S were way off!
In relation to the big comparison sites, this was news to me:
Confused.com owned by Admiral. Yes, that Admiral. They also own elephant.co.uk, Bell Direct and Diamond, the womens car insurance specialist.
GoCompare are “independent” but eSure has a 50% share. That’s according to the Insurance Times.
Compare the Market is owned by Budget. This one is a bit naughty, as all of the brands quoted are Budget group companies – but they don’t make that obvious – they also own Dial Direct, “Local Broker“, ibuyeco, Quote Mart, and Junction who run the insurance arms of the Post Office, Marks and Spencer, Debenhams, Bradford & Bingley, Homebase and yesinsurance.com.
MoneySupermarket have just floated (in what was described as an “unfortunate” stock market debut, they failed to raise as much cash as had been hoped for, partly due to a recent Google penalty for link spamming which saw their web traffic shrink alarmingly!). As such they are independent.
