LONDON, July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Direct Line Insurance Group plc ("Direct Line Group" or "the Group") today announces an extension of its UK aggregator offering. From today, motor insurance products from Churchill, Privilege and strategic partner brand Sainsbury's Bank will be available on comparethemarket.com, one of the leading price comparison websites.
The UK market share of price comparison websites is expected to continue to grow and 56% of private motor insurance customers start their journey on a price comparison website[1]. comparethemarket.com is currently one of the leading comparison websites[2] with a reputation for providing customers with an easy and quick way of viewing and comparing insurance policy quotations from multiple providers. It therefore represents a strong platform for customers to access the Churchill, Privilege and strategic partner Sainsbury's Bank brands, in addition to the existing direct routes.
Commenting on the launch, Paul Geddes, Chief Executive Officer, Direct Line Group, said: "Direct Line Group provides customers with a range of brands, channels, products and services that best address their needs or choices. I'm delighted that this agreement extends our multi-channel distribution strategy, making some of our products more widely accessible to a larger market. This partnership supports our retail general insurance strategy and gives even more customers more choice in how they can access some of the leading household brands in our portfolio."
