Laws vary from place to place. It would help if we knew approximately
where you are (at least the state/province and nation).

Hi, thanks for your response. I am located in England, UK.

If you've accepted the quote then yes they are.

Does that mean that before you accept it it's subject to change? For
instance I've had an instance where I've got a quote online and then
rang up to take out cover, and they've said they're not going to
honour the quote even though none of my information had changed (an
error in their system or something). The thing is, based on the quote
given, you could potentially go out and buy a certain car, so next
time I want the info to be able to say "sorry, but you're legally
bound to honour the quote."!
