Used Compare the market to help me to switch energy suppliers, this process was very quick and after checking the results directly with energy suppliers suppliers websites, the results returned where accurate. I went back to them to process the switch and so far all has gone to plan and fits in with the information they outlined at the beginning of the process.

After changing my electricity supplier i registered for a Meerkat, after watching its progress for months it was no nearer delivery.I don't know if the company failed to validate my transaction or some other glitch happened. It took only one email to customer services and problem solved.They also gave me the choice of meerkat, delivery in seven to ten days.Prompt, efficient, effective customer care a rare thing these days.Simples.!!!!

The service provided by Compare the Market, in addition to their adorable advertising campaign and toys are brilliant, however I would still encourage people to shop around on other comparison sites as I saved £30 by also checking out moneysupermarket and confused (although you could argue that £30 pays for the toy that I missed out on).

I had used price comparison sites before - and the experience had put me off completely, but this year I decided to try comparethemarket.com. What a great help! It provided me with a huge selection of quotations for my car insurance. I particularly liked the way further details of particular quotes could be readily displayed with an easy link to that insurer's website. The list of quotes can be saved for later retrieval, a feature that did not always work well on other comparison sites I used. I did not particularly like the fact that I received multiple emails from comparethemarket.com reminding me that I had obtained quotations even after I had selected and purchased insurance from one of the suggested companies. Perhaps there should be an option as to whether users want such reminders and if so how often. However, my first experience of comaprethemarket.com was a pleasant and productive one and I will certainly use it again when my house insurance is due for renewal. Congratulations and best wishes to the comparethemarket.com team for a first class product.

I recently bought my home insurance through compare the market. I found it easy to understand on the internet. Although there were lots of questions to answer, it was worth it in the end. A lot of my quotes were quite a bit cheaper than i had been quoted over the telephone and from my previous company. After I had bought it, i then went onto the meerkat site to claim my toy. My son thoroughly enjoyed tracking the meerkat. I did think that it does take rather a long time for the meerkat to arrive, which was about a month. Also i had a bit of a problem with my insurance company as they had a technical problem and that resulted in receiving an email from the compare the meerkat telling me that i no longer qualified for a meerkat. After tracking it for a month, i was not at all pleased as my son was extremely upset. Anyway, after explaining this in an email to the compare the meerkat customer service, they agreed to still send me out a meerkat as it was not my fault. I was very happy with the customer service they provided and they answered my emails promptly. I will be going through this website again as my son now wants all the meerkats :).

I found it straightforward to enter all details required and I appreciated being given the choice of how I was to be contacted by the site i.e. phone.e-mail etc. On another site, I had a person on the phone hassling me into being connected to the insurer they thought was best for me, before I had time to decide for myself. I put the phone down. At my age I need a little more time to sort things out. With comparethemarket I chose to be contacted by e-mail and had plenty of time to make my selection with no hassle. I didn't take the cheapest because they didn't offer all I required, but I still saved £154. I will certainly use this site in the future, and incidentally, in less than three weeks, Vassily arrived from Meerkovo!! As he might say "All in alls a very rewardings experience"

My Meerkat got as far as Dover and then got lost got in touch with the customer service team and after a few e=mails back and forward they are sending me another not just any the one i asked for so am well chuffed. Liked the fact that they have answered every e-mail i sent and were able to help me get the Meerkat due to me. Kept it personal and made me feel i was important thanks very much. At first they thought i was not due one but when I explained one had been sent and had got as far as Dover they then said i could have another sent out.

This is a very nice website. I recently used it for comparing prices and found that dutymall.com is best for duty free products. I purchased many gifts and I am very happy to use this site as it offered best prices to me.

Having read some bad reviews, thought I'd stick up for them. I always use this site, gocompare and confused, and found compare the market was the cheapest. In fact, the same policy, with the same company, and the same terms, was cheaper on comparethemarket than confused. It was cheaper, and I got a free Meerkat teddy, which took 6 weeks to arrive - I suspect that's to make sure you don't cancel just to get the toy, which is going for £40 on eBay - and I was informed of its progress! I would point out, I did the original comparison when I got my renewal, and 3 weeks later I did the same comparison and got it cheaper than the original quote, so be aware of this.

I used Compare the Market the last time my car insurance was due for renewal.
The site was pretty easy to use, with the obvious questions being asked. Only thing is that unfortunately I found my quote from another similar comparison site, as the quote I found there was £50 cheaper. In the grand scheme of things, this made more sense.
