Will I get charged for using a comparison site?
Price comparison sites typically do not charge users anything to use the site. Instead, they are monetized through payments from providers who are listed on the site.

Also some price comparison websites have exclusive contracts with select suppliers so this will mean, those products will not be offered on other websites. You should also be aware that not all providers allow their products to appear on comparison sites i.e. Direct Line insurance, Aviva multi car etc. so quotes from these will need to be gathered for comparison directly through their own individual sites.
