CompareTheMarket.com, a leading insurance price comparison website in the UK has launched a new microsite to compare travel insurances among a wide range of insurance providers. CompareTheMarket was launched in 2006 and since then they have launched price comparison for car insurance, life insurance, energy insurance, pet insurance.

Last week, the company added travel insurance comparison to their kitty.

The website design is simple, neat and easy to use. CompareTheMarket has well thought about their mobile traffic, the website has a responsive design, meaning – its optimised for all types of mobile devices.

We tested in iPhone, iPad and a web browser – the experience is retained across devices and the site renders wonderfully.

User can select the travel country, number of trips, travel dates, duration, passenger details, add on insurances (Cruise insurance, Winter Sports insurance etc) and request for a quote online.

The insurance quote will be immediately emailed to you and the various travel insurance options can also be seen on screen. We liked the simplicity of this results page. Simple, organised and to the point.

Upon selecting a particular travel insurance, user is directed to that particular insurance company website.

To summarise in a line, this new service from CompareTheMarket is a meta search engine for travel insurances.
