Swiftcover.com named best 'Value for Money' car insurer
Thursday, 14 January 2010
Swiftcover.com has been voted the UK's best 'Value for Money' car insurer for 2010 by readers of finance website, Lovemoney.com.
The awards were voted for by actual car insurance buyers and are a reflection of their real-life experiences of insurance companies, as well as a range of other financial services providers.
Tina Shortle, marketing director of swiftcover.com, says: "It's great to put another award in our trophy cabinet, but the Lovemoney.com award is particularly special because it was voted for by consumers".
"To be named the best 'Value for Money' car insurer shows that our commitment to low cost car insurance backed by a service customers expect is working".
This is Lovemoney.com's inaugural personal finance awards. Ed Bowsher, Lovemoney.com's head of consumer finance, explains: "Our awards celebrate the very best personal finance providers in the UK. Picking the right financial product is a difficult decision for most people. What could be simpler than following the recommendations of other customers?"
The award was based on the results of an online survey of 2,046 lovemoney.com readers conducted in December 2009.
