When you enter these sites you should be faced with the same kind of layout and format and find that it is all relatively easy to navigate and work through. Every site will be split into three stages. Stage 1: Quotes ~ here you will be asked to fill out questions regarding yourself. Stage 2: Compare plans ~ you will be asked to fill out information about yourself and anyone else who you will be covering with this plan. You will be asked for the weight, height age and gender of every person who you wish to get cover, and also if they are smokers or non smokers, whether they are in full time employment, unemployed or currently a student. Stage 3: Applying online ~ you will be given all the options of the best plans for you to look through until you find one that is best for you.
