How it works
One Journey. Multiple Providers. You Stay in Control.
Gavello changes the traditional specialist insurance comparison journey. Tell us what you need once, allow participating providers to assess your requirements and compete for your business, compare their responses online and choose which provider you want to progress with.
Step 01
Tell Us What You Need
Choose the insurance product you need and tell us about your business and insurance requirements once.
Your requirements can then be presented through Gavello to suitable participating providers.
Step 02
Providers Compete for Your Business
Suitable providers can review your insurance requirements and respond through Gavello with indicative pricing, policy features and relevant conditions.
Instead of chasing multiple providers for quotations, they compete for the opportunity to win your business.
Step 03
Compare and Choose
Review provider responses, indicative prices and policy information through your Gavello dashboard.
You decide which provider you want to speak to and when. Your contact information isn't initially disclosed to every participating provider.
Step 04
Progress with Your Chosen Provider
Choose the provider you want to progress with. They can then contact you to validate your insurance requirements, discuss the quotation and confirm the final terms.
There's no obligation to buy simply because you've compared provider responses.

The difference
How Is Gavello Different From a Traditional Insurance Comparison Website?
Traditional enquiry journey
- You complete an insurance enquiry.
- Your details may be introduced to providers.
- Providers contact you.
- You explain your requirements.
- You receive separate responses.
- You compare the conversations yourself.
Gavello
- You provide your insurance requirements once.
- Suitable participating providers can review the opportunity.
- Providers respond through Gavello.
- You compare their responses online.
- Your contact details aren't initially disclosed to every provider.
- You choose which provider you want to speak to.
The difference is control. Gavello is designed so that providers compete for your business before you decide who you want to engage with.
Clear about our role
Gavello is the comparison platform. The insurance itself is provided by the participating provider you choose.
Does Gavello Sell Insurance?
No. Gavello doesn't underwrite or sell insurance policies. Gavello provides an online comparison platform that helps clients present their insurance requirements to participating specialist providers and compare their responses. If you choose to progress, your selected provider validates your information, discusses the quotation and confirms the final insurance terms.
Are Quotes Through Gavello Final?
Not until confirmed. Provider responses are based on the information supplied through Gavello. Before insurance is purchased, the selected provider will need to validate the information and confirm the final premium, cover, terms and conditions.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Gavello
What is Gavello?
Gavello is a UK digital specialist insurance comparison platform. It allows clients to submit their insurance requirements once, receive responses from participating providers through the platform, compare their options online and choose which provider they want to progress with.
What insurance can I compare through Gavello?
Fleet Insurance and Motor Trade Insurance are currently available through Gavello’s online comparison journey. Additional specialist insurance products are being developed for the platform.
Does Gavello sell insurance?
No. Gavello provides the comparison platform. Insurance is arranged with the insurance provider selected by the client, subject to that provider’s validation, underwriting and final terms.
Does Gavello give instant insurance quotes?
Gavello is designed for specialist insurance, where providers may need to assess more information than is required for a standard consumer insurance quote. Providers respond through the platform as they assess the opportunity, rather than Gavello generating an insurance premium itself.
Will multiple insurance brokers call me?
Gavello doesn’t initially disclose your contact information to every participating provider. Providers can review your requirements and respond through the platform before you decide which provider you want to speak to.
How long does Gavello take to get insurance quotes?
Responses arrive as participating providers assess your requirements. For specialist or complex insurance, Gavello recommends allowing around 2–3 business days, although response times can vary by product and risk.
Do I have to buy insurance after comparing through Gavello?
No. Submitting your requirements, receiving provider responses or selecting a provider to speak to doesn’t itself oblige you to purchase a policy.
Why doesn't Gavello share my contact details immediately?
Gavello is designed to let you compare provider responses before deciding who you want to engage with. Your contact details are therefore not initially disclosed to every participating provider.
Is Gavello FCA regulated?
Gavello is a trading style of 1st Tech Group Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under Firm Reference Number 1008478.
How do insurance providers compete through Gavello?
Participating providers review suitable insurance requirements and can respond through Gavello with indicative pricing and relevant policy information. The client can compare the responses before choosing which provider they want to progress with.
