Questions about each
AXA
What is the cheapest premium AXA offers?+
Premium from £275 is the entry figure across the personal range. That sits well above the site median of €8.37, so AXA is not the low end of this market. A quote depends on your cover type and details.
Can I pay monthly rather than yearly?+
Yes, monthly payments are available across the products AXA covers here. Most brands in this comparison also offer monthly payments, so it is a common feature rather than a reason to pick one provider over another.
Carole Nash
What does Carole Nash cover?+
It is a broker for motorcycle, auto and van insurance. That means motorcycle, auto, van and travel policies can sit with one provider rather than a separate insurer for each.
How much does a Carole Nash policy cost?+
Motorbike cover starts at £257, against a site median of €8.37. The starting figure ranks 241 out of 252 brands, so expect to look at the whole quote rather than the headline.
