the CMA itself diagnosed – may be a sour pill to swallow for honest motorists.”

automobile insurance, the CMA’s state of no activity in reality entrenches the

inflating car hire costs at the customer’s cost. The fact is that the CMA has
ducked this assignment and whilst regulators fail, politicians need to step in
to act.”

that banning restrictive price preparations through fee assessment websites
(PCWs) such clauses “save you insurers from supplying a inexpensive deal to
customers through their very own internet site or some other PCW,” and that
they “ought to be banned. So customers need to welcome this pass which must
offer greater options while shopping round.”
