I wish people wudlon't use answers to link to their own website.First of all: In the UK there are many  aggregator' websites comparing car insurance premiums   they charge the insurer for any policy placed with them so that the insurer gets no cost advantage and the customer finds they have bought a policy through a middleman (the website) that will be of no benefit to them should they need help.To a lesser extent buying through an insurance company online is similar. They don't pay a broker or middleman but they certainly pay a lot more to advertise on TV and in the press. If you have a problem with their service then who will you call to help you?If you buy through an insurance broker (i.e. someone who is an agent for many companies) then not only do they do the running around for you at renewal, they also act on your behalf should you have any queries in the adminstration of your policy or if you need to make a claim.Think of the difference in prices as an annual fee that the broker charges for this service   then imagine you asked a lawyer or an accountant to look after your legal or financial matters. Which professional is offering the best value for money?
