Motor Insurance - Comments & Tips

I recently had fortis insurance and they have been a total nightmare from day one, my car was made a right off last year, and im still fighting with Fortis 6 months down the line im still battling with them, they refuse to settle this and are making excuses if not lying to me and others involved.
I wouldnt recomment Fortis to anyone now, there service was the worst and still is, they may be cheep but it certainly shows in there service.
Done touch fortis with your money and your safety, they are not to be trusted in any way shape or form!

I decided to try www.confused.com after seeing the TV advertising. It works really well, and you can use it for most of the sorts of insurance you would want. I have tried it for House and Car so far. One great thing about it is that you don't have to keep on filling in your personal details. You register with the site, and it keeps them for you.
