Case number:

Vj-19/2010

Type of case:

Consumer deception

Undertaking(s) concerned:

Biztositas.hu Biztosítási Alkusz Kft.

Short description:

Biztosítás.hu Biztosítási Alkusz Kft. (Biztosítás.hu) specialises in insurance broker activities. For this reason the undertaking operates an online insurance website. This website (with the assistance of a "fee calculator") compares the offers that are provided by insurance companies on compulsory third-party liability services and provides an opportunity to enter into a contract with one of the insurance companies. Biztositas.hu has entered into cooperation agreements with all insurance companies. However, the so-called "free-calculator" did not take into account four of the tariffs in the field of the obtainable discounts of the provided compulsory third-party liability services. After receiving the preliminary stance of the GVH, the undertaking decided to submit its commitments to the authority.

Decision:

The Gazdasági Versenyhivatal (GVH - Hungarian Competition Authority) has closed its competition supervision proceeding by accepting commitments from Biztositas.hu Biztosítási Alkusz Kft.

Date:

Budapest, 5 October 2010
