The MoneySupermarket.com car insurance comparison app is finally here and while it is not available in the US for the time being, it is worth checking to see whether its merits will eventually be beneficial to the American market.
The app itself is available for iOS and Android devices, which include the iPhone, iPad and an array of Google-powered smartphones and tablets.
It will cost you nothing to download and will also be free to use, provided you either have a data plan built into your mobile tariff or access to a Wi-Fi hotspot for comparison purposes.
Those in the UK can save an average of £374.93 by using MoneySupermarket’s car insurance price comparison tools. The app gives full access to quotes from more than 100 different companies so that the best possible price rises to the surface.
Thankfully, the MoneySupermarket app is well designed on any platform and has been specifically adapted to suit the style of interface typically found on Android and iOS smartphones.
First time users will be required to create an account via the application, which takes a few minutes and will require a decent dose of personal information to make sure that quotes are accurate.
However, once this registration has been completed once, there is no need to repeat the process as the app stores your data so that it can be used again and again to compare prices without the form filling.
If you have the app installed on a compatible smartphone, it will be able to give you a direct line of contact to the various insurance companies once the quotes have been sourced using MoneySupermarket’s powerful comparison engine.
This will let you quickly tap on quotes that suit your budget and cover requirements, subsequently giving you the option to call the insurer and discuss the opportunities that they are offering.
Each of the quotes listed will also note whether or not the deal includes bonus features like free windscreen cover and the option to drive a courtesy car while yours is being repaired.
This comprehensive yet entirely uncomplicated approach to app-based price comparison is certain to catch on amongst those who are tired of paying over the odds for their annual cover in the UK.
MoneySupermarket is apparently in the process of not only porting the app to other mobile platforms, but also introducing similar features to customers who live in the US and further afield.
Hopefully the success of the app in the UK will encourage it to speed up the transatlantic translation process and put the app on the Android Market and App Store stateside as soon as possible.
