How does Tiger.co.uk work?
With Tiger, you only have to fill in our online forms once and we request quotes from a number of leading UK insurance providers.
How do you make money?
We make money by charging the insurance provider a specific rate or commission for every sale they make through our site, this however does not increase the final cost of the premium, as we allow the insurance providers to appear on our quoting systems for free, and since we carry out all the advertising for them it means they don’t have to charge higher prices to cover the commission.
Why are your prices different from other price comparison sites?
Whilst all price comparison sites operate in a very similar way there can be variances in some of the questions asked as well as some of the options available as answers, these may lead to a marginal difference on the prices of some insurance policies. Also some price comparison sites may display an exclusive price, however be sure to read all the details as the cheapest cover may not always be the best policy.
What kind of insurance do you compare?
We provide a comparison service for well over 60 different insurance products, as well as providing you with directories for insurance we currently do not cater for. You can find a definitive list of all our insurance products here
How do I know you’re impartial, surely you promote some companies more than others?
We benefit from a flat rate/commission-based earning from each insurance provider each time a sale is made, so we have no incentive to promote any particular company ahead of another, and operate 100% impartially across all our insurance products. Our only interest is providing you with a competitive quote.
How do I know what’s included in the policy?
On our results page we do our best to show what extras each insurance policy includes and what other add-ons are available. After clicking through to an insurance provider page they generally have a “View policy Summary” option, which provides you with all the details and small print.
Can you explain the various vehicle uses to me?
Social, Domestic, Pleasure and Commuting – Is designed for casual use of the car and also commuting to and from a single place of work. Social, Domestic and Please – Is appropriate for when a car is not used for work at all. Business Use – Means you drive your vehicle to several sites away from your permanent place of work i.e. an operational manager may have to travel to several different offices on a weekly basis. Commercial use – Is appropriate for when a vehicle is used for door to door or travelling sales.
How far in advance can I get a quote?
Typically most insurance providers will only quote one month in advance due to changing costs and pricing of insurance policies.
