Kwik Fit Insurance Confirmed As Cheapest Car Insurer On The Market
Even though the Kwik Fit Insurance division has only been trading since 1995 it has quickly made a name for itself with a report from moneysupermarket.com confirming that of 12 million insurance quotes requested on the site, Kwik Fit Insurance was consistently the more competitive of insurers in the market. The average quote was confirmed at £277 showing that the group seem to have hit the mark with the insurance division.
While the name Kwik Fit will be forever connected with the infamous Kwik Fit ‘fitters’ and the TV advert which pushed them into the public eye, it is very much a more rounded group these days. The company has taken advantage of a massive increase in popularity for online car insurance and used the medium to cut costs to the bone. This seems to have paid great dividends in what must be one of the more competitive insurance markets on the internet.
More and more people are making themselves familiar with the attractions of online car insurance, home insurance, travel insurance, etc with quotes often substantially cheaper than offline equivalents. As consumers looks to save money where possible, many experts are expecting a sharp increase in online insurance customers.
