As well as offering cashback on online purchases, did you know that Quidco is also the go-to place for comparing and saving money on utilities and insurance of all types?
Saving money on insurance and utilities with Quidco Compare
You can’t have escaped the fact that the cost of living has increased, and a large part of that is the rises in utilities and insurance. As almost anyone who has recently insured their car will tell you, prices have shot up across the board – up a massive 58% from where they were a year ago. Ouch! Meanwhile, home insurance is also set to rise by 36% due to higher inflation and weather. Double ouch.
At a time when everything is getting more expensive, paying so much more for insurance feels utterly galling, particularly when you have another year’s no-claim bonus under your belt.
Although I’m not promising to save you hundreds, there are ways to mitigate the rises in insurance and utilities with the help of platforms like Quidco Compare, which as the name suggests, helps you easily compare the cost of utilities like energy and broadband, and insurance policies against one another to find the best deal. It’s quick and easy to find the right package or the right insurance coverage, but more importantly it’s also possible to save substantial amounts of money in the process, and walk away with a healthy bit of cashback on top.
How to use Quidco Compare to save money on home and car insurance
Firstly, if you don’t already belong to Quidco then you need to sign up as a new member on the Quidco website. Be sure to follow the step by step guide on this post to get a £15 new member bonus if you sign up before 30th June 2024.
Navigate on the menu to the Quidco Compare section, and choose the kind of insurance (or utilities) that you’re looking for.
You then fill in your details – just the once – and Quidco Compare will compare (naturally!) a whole load of policies from different insurers to find out which ones offer the best value for money. You can tweak details like your voluntary excess, whether you want breakdown cover, legal cover etc to change the cost of the policy. Then, once you’ve taken a look at the list, compared the offers and decided which one to go for, click the link on Quidco Compare and complete the purchase without having to go through inputting your details again.
You can see some of the cashback amounts on offer below, which are tracked when you purchase a policy you’ve found via the Quidco Compare platform and paid up to 120 days afterwards into your Quidco Cashback account.

3. Exclusive cashback offers:
One of the standout features of Quidco Compare is its integration with the cashback platform Quidco. When you purchase your car or home insurance through Quidco Compare, you are eligible for exclusive cashback, providing you with additional savings on top of the competitive rates already available.
A case study: How I saved money on my home insurance with Quidco Compare
I’ve been using Quidco Compare to save money on home and car insurance for many years now and very recently made a saving I was very pleased with.
Our home insurance policy was due for renewal in January. The renewal documents came through and the premium had increased from £271.50 in 2023 to £391.23 in one year, with no claims made. I always opt out of auto-renewal in order to find the best deal.
Using Quidco Compare, I input the details of our home and in 15 minutes I was able to find a better policy from the very same insurer for £291.47. OK, not quite as cheap as last year, but a significant saving on the best price they were offering us at renewal. It is also a more comprehensive policy (‘silver’ rather than ‘bronze’). However it also came with a £34 Quidco cashback bonus, which you get for any new home insurance policy bought via the Quidco Compare platform.
When this is paid out in approximately six months, it will mean that this year has actually been cheaper than the previous year!
