Frequently Asked Questions

Is Anorak a price comparison site?

No – Anorak is different to a price comparison website in a couple of ways: first, it uses technology to work out your future financial liabilities, instantly and accurately; second, while it does scan the whole market of insurers for quotes (just like a price comparison site), it only recommends policies that are genuinely suitable for your needs and profile. So you see a tailored selection of suitable policies, rather a long list of everything on the market.

How does Anorak deliver its online advice?

From this, Anorak recommends what sort of cover you should buy to protect against these liabilities, then matches you to the most suitable policies with quotes from the whole market of insurers.

Anorak is primarily an online service, but it also has a team of advisers available to help at any point, if needed.
