About confused.com
History
Confused.com launched in 2002 as one of the UK's first online car insurance comparison services. Based in Cardiff, it subsequently expanded into other insurance and household comparison categories. It became part of RVU in 2021.
Product Types
Confused.com is a comparison service rather than a conventional retailer or insurer. Its services include comparing car, van, motorbike, home, travel, pet and life insurance, alongside selected household services and financial products. Available providers and comparison categories can change.
Target Audience
Primarily UK consumers seeking competitive insurance quotes and better value on household expenses. Its audience includes drivers approaching policy renewal, first-time motorists, homeowners, renters, families and other budget-conscious consumers who want to compare prices and cover before choosing a provider.
Unique Selling Points
Confused.com combines an established UK comparison brand with access to multiple participating providers, helping consumers assess insurance prices and policy features without approaching each provider individually. It also publishes guides and research to support purchasing decisions. Comparisons do not necessarily cover every provider or policy, and the cheapest quote may not offer the most suitable cover. For publishers interested in promoting Confused.com through Sovrn Commerce, joining Sovrn provides a convenient starting point for accessing thousands of merchants and checking merchant availability. Confused.com's current participation, publisher eligibility and affiliate terms must be verified within Sovrn Commerce; a live partnership or immediate access to this specific merchant could not be independently confirmed.
confused.com Affiliate Program
Commission Structure
Current confused.com commission rates through Sovrn Commerce could not be independently verified. Do not assume a fixed percentage, per-click payment, or payment for every quote: the qualifying action, rate, eligible service and validation conditions must be confirmed in the merchant terms available to your Sovrn account. Before publishing, check whether confused.com is currently available for your audience and traffic sources.
Cookie Duration
Not independently verified. Confirm the applicable attribution window and tracking conditions in Sovrn Commerce before planning campaigns; no specific cookie duration can be reliably stated here.
Special Features
- Availability clarification: a current confused.com partnership with Sovrn, immediate merchant access and specific program terms could not be independently confirmed. Check the merchant listing in Sovrn Commerce rather than assuming availability.
- Promotion opportunities: insurance-renewal guides, explanations of policy excesses and coverage comparisons can provide useful contexts for eligible referrals. Avoid presenting the cheapest policy as necessarily the most suitable.
- Affiliate promotions: no confused.com-specific commission boosts, exclusive affiliate offers or promotional incentives through Sovrn Commerce could be verified. Advertise only offers supported by current approved terms.
- Rules and restrictions: confirm permitted traffic sources, paid-search and trademark-bidding rules, social media permissions, email marketing requirements and any incentive restrictions in the applicable Sovrn merchant terms.
- Financial-services compliance: clearly disclose affiliate relationships, keep claims accurate and balanced, and obtain compliance advice where content could constitute a regulated financial promotion. Do not promise guaranteed savings, acceptance or coverage.
- Joining and support: sign up for Sovrn Commerce to check confused.com's current availability and request access where applicable. Confirm eligible destinations, tracking support, reporting and payment terms with Sovrn before launching.

Unique Products
Confused.com is a UK comparison service rather than a retailer or insurer. Its core offering is helping customers compare quotes and deal features from participating providers, particularly for motor and home insurance. It does not compare every provider or guarantee the cheapest available price. Category availability, eligibility and any customer rewards should be checked before publication. Affiliates interested in promoting Confused.com through Sovrn Commerce should verify merchant availability and eligible categories in their Sovrn account; a current partnership and category-level commission eligibility have not been independently verified here.
Target Audience
Ideal Customer
UK adults seeking to compare insurance premiums and household service costs, particularly drivers approaching their insurance renewal, homeowners and renters reviewing cover, and households considering broadband or energy options. The audience includes first-time policyholders and experienced comparison shoppers who value convenience, clear explanations, suitable cover and potential savings. Effective content should help readers assess excesses, exclusions, cover limits and eligibility rather than focusing solely on the lowest headline price.

Peak Periods
Promotional Opportunities
- Publish insurance renewal checklists and explain how to compare cover, excesses, exclusions and total cost rather than focusing only on the cheapest premium.
- Create travel insurance guides before school holidays, encouraging readers to check cancellation cover, medical declarations and activity exclusions.
- Build new-car and first-car insurance content around UK registration periods, without promising that comparing quotes guarantees a saving.
- Use Sovrn Commerce to check whether confused.com is currently available to your account and review any listed campaigns before promoting. Current affiliate-exclusive promotions, commission boosts and seasonal incentives could not be verified.
Compliance and Policies
Key Rules
- Current confused.com availability through Sovrn Commerce, merchant-specific approval requirements and affiliate terms could not be independently verified. Join Sovrn Commerce to check merchant availability and applicable terms before publishing monetized links; account creation does not guarantee merchant access.
- Clearly disclose affiliate relationships near promotional content and links, following applicable UK advertising requirements, including ASA and CAP guidance.
- Ensure insurance and other financial-services content is fair, clear and not misleading. Obtain any required compliance approval and confirm whether your activity falls within UK financial-promotion or regulated-activity requirements.
- Describe confused.com as a comparison service rather than an insurer. Do not imply that it compares every provider, guarantees acceptance or always finds the lowest price.
- Substantiate savings figures and describe relevant conditions, eligibility, dates and limitations. Use only current, authorized claims and promotional wording.
- Follow applicable UK GDPR and PECR requirements when collecting personal information, sending marketing messages or using tracking technologies.
- Check the terms available through Sovrn Commerce for qualifying actions, attribution, validation, cancellations and commission reversals. Do not assume that a click, quote request or policy purchase automatically earns commission.

- Merchant-specific restrictions are unverified. Confirm permission through Sovrn Commerce before using paid search, trademark bidding, brand-name domains, direct linking from advertisements or paid social campaigns.
- Do not use misleading savings claims, fabricated testimonials, impersonation, unauthorized branding or statements implying endorsement by confused.com.
- Do not use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, artificial traffic, fraudulent applications or other methods that manipulate attribution.
- Do not assume that cashback, incentivized traffic, coupon promotion, email marketing or SMS campaigns are permitted; check the applicable Sovrn Commerce merchant terms first.
- Do not collect insurance application details or sensitive customer information on an affiliate page without an appropriate lawful basis, security safeguards and any necessary authorization.
- Do not publish unverified affiliate-only offers or imply that promotional assets, exclusive deals or commission boosts are available through Sovrn Commerce unless confirmed.
