About the Car Insurance Price Index
The Confused.com Car Insurance Price Index in association with WTW monitors car insurance price trends in the UK, with summary results published quarterly. All figures quoted are for comprehensive cover.
The Index is compiled from anonymous applicant data and uses the average of the five cheapest prices received in response to all enquiries on Confused.com, one of the UK's leading comparison sites.
The Index is one of the longest established in the industry, having collected data on pricing trends since the final quarter of 2006. Moreover, millions of new quotes contribute to each quarter's findings. This makes it the most comprehensive current insight into price trends, particularly as it is focused on the dominant price comparison channel.
