According to the ABI, the average claim in the UK was £668^{^} in 2023, almost 50% higher than the average cost of a policy.

After 8 years with the same Pet Insurance I received a renewal for almost double my premium, I tried MoneySupermarket for the first time. So easy to use and I was so surprised to see how quick my Pet Insurance quotes came through. The quote I went with gave me everything I had with my previous Insurer, with a monthly cost lower than I had been paying. Thank you Super MoneySupermarket
