Home Contents Insurance

[Karamia]

Just had a lovely surprise regarding buying home and contents insurance. My renewal quote for 4 bed detached came through at £340, so I went on comparison site and found one with same cover at £272, but then when I continued through to payment, the price dropped by another £50 down to £222 !!

Obviously I am very pleased with this price but no idea why this happened - can anyone explain the drop in price from comparison site to actual insurance site? 

Surely more customers would use if price was going to be cheaper, so why hide it?

Check it actually IS same cover. same excesses?
Accidental damage.

Personal goods away from home, and what limit in £s.

Lots of detail that might be very different.

I did mine via the Topcashback website comparison tool & got a chunk of cash back.
