Record the terms, identify unanswered questions and keep your own comparison notes.
Good questions.
Worth asking.
What is the difference between a quote and a policy?
A quote describes proposed terms subject to its conditions. Confirm acceptance, payment requirements and the effective arrangement with the provider; a website enquiry does not create a policy.
Does a familiar policy name tell me what is covered?
No. Definitions, insured subject matter, exclusions, limits, conditions and endorsements together determine the policy’s scope.
Should I cancel current protection before comparing?
Ask about continuity, acceptance, timing and cancellation conditions first. Do not assume a replacement is in force just because you requested a quote.
