Our verdict

Frequently asked questions
What does Compare.com actually do?+
Compare.com is a comparison site, not an insurer. It sits in the US and pulls quotes together, so you can read several options in the same place and then choose which provider to go with.
What kinds of insurance can I compare?+
The lines listed for Compare.com cover auto, home, renters and pet, as set out in auto, home and renters. That mix suits a household placing more than a single policy, rather than someone shopping for a standalone cover.
How much would a policy start at?+
The starting premium shown for Compare.com is $45. The median starting premium across the sites listed is €8.37, so this figure sits above the middle of that range rather than at the low end.
Can I pay monthly?+
Monthly payments are available, and monthly lists monthly as the only payment model. Spreading the cost that way is a main reason to use a quote panel rather than a single insurer.
Is Compare.com regulated?+
It holds a licence as a licensed insurance agency with state insurance departments in every state and in Washington, D.C. That agency status is separate from the insurers whose quotes it displays, so the cover itself comes from the provider you pick.
Who is it suited for?+
It works for US households with car, home, renters or pet cover who want to see a spread of quotes before committing, and for anyone who prefers a monthly payment. Readers who want cover from a named insurer may prefer buying direct instead.
How does Compare.com compare with buying from an insurer?+
Compare.com gathers quotes, while an insurer sets its own terms. Good Sam Insurance Agency, for example, lists auto, home, renters, life, health, travel, pet and motorcycle in auto, home and renters under its own name.
When was Compare.com set up?+
It was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in the US. That US base matches the state insurance department licensing it holds, and monthly payments are available on the quotes it gathers.
