MandS Money response to moneysupermarket car insurance survey
The average premium for MandS Car Insurance quoted by moneysupermarket is not representative of the true price of our insurance.
To achieve a top Five Star rating, a product must have a certain minimum set of features - just as a five star hotel must have a lift.
Only a small proportion of the market attains the Five Star rating.
In 2008 top ratings have been awarded to both Annual and Single Trip Travel Insurance, Home buildings and contents (Premier), Car Insurance and Pet (Premier) cover.
Commenting, Brendan Cook, M and S Money's chief executive said: "This rating is a great indication of the standard of insurance available from M and S Money.
We are proud of the policies we have put together in conjunction with our insurance partners and feel that they are some of the best available in the current market." Brian Brown, Head of Insight at Defaqto comments: "We analysed the policies available from Marks and Spencer against the whole market, using a wide selection of product features and benefits.
Each of the these policies is among an exclusive selection of high quality policies to be rated Five Stars by Defaqto" Defaqto is the leading UK independent financial services benchmarking company.
