September Surge to Insure New Pride and Joy

LONDON, September 15, 2011 -

Price comparison website, comparethemarket.com is preparing for a surge in car, bike and van insurance quotes this September as excited owners of brand new vehicles look for insurance at the best possible price.

From 1^st September 2011 the latest registration age identifiers (61) are issued. Having already paid out for a brand new car, van or motorbike, those looking to insure their new vehicle will want the best insurance deals they can find. This is where comparethemarket.com makes it easy by doing the hard work for you.

The website includes easy quote retrieval and provides hundreds of different quotes from trusted brands, within thirty seconds. Whichever car people choose, comparethemarket.com can help save time and money. It works just the same for those looking for van insurance and motorbike insurance.

Commercial Director for comparethemarket.com, Jeremy Moll said: “When you’ve spent a lot of money on a brand new vehicle, the last thing you want to do is pay over the odds on your insurance. We’ve found that 98% of people could save on their car insurance simply by using our price comparison site*.”

People who buy car or van insurance at comparethemarket.com will also receive an exclusive meerkat toy based on characters from the highly successful ad campaign. As the toys are not for sale, comparethemarket.com’s Simples Rewards scheme is the only way to receive one of these much sought after toys.

About Meerkovo and Simples Rewards

Meerkovo, a small village based just outside of Moscow, is the home of best-selling author and founder of comparethemeerkat.com Aleksandr Orlov.  

Meerkovo is going through troubled times because people in the UK keep confusing comparethemeerkat.com with comparethemarket.com when looking for cheap deals on insurance. This is clogging up the meerkat comparison site, so to try and solve this confusion Aleksandr asked Sergei, his trusty IT assistant, to build Meerkovo.com to provide fans with the opportunity to see Aleksandr’s home village.

Now Aleksandr has launched Simples Rewards, a scheme to reward people who know the difference between meerkat and market.  From 4th July, the meerkats of Meerkovo have been giving everyone who buys car, van, pet and home insurance from comparethemarket.com the chance to claim a free meerkat toy at meerkovo.com.

The range of six toys comprises: Aleksandr; Sergei; Vassily, the pub rocker; Maiya the school mistress; Bogdan, the meerpup; and Yakov, the toymaker.
