    I've renewed my policy with Direct Line now for 4 years but each year I've seen the margin between the most competitive quotes reduce. Last year they were £30 more expensive than another quote but I couldn't be bothered with all the hassle of changing for £30! My newly qualified 18 yr o ...

    Despite being fully comp with high excess we were told that we couldn't have a courtesy car unless we paid for it. Result - no family car for a week. We had to do all the running communication wise. Will not renew with them, better off with Churchill- a company that cares about their customers.

    Following a bad accident on ice that wrote off my vehicle Direct Line has been appalling in its failure to communicate with me. e.g. unfulfilled promises that a representative would phone me, ignoring my mail, dilatory follow up when I ring and finally offering me below market price.
    My advice is ...

    I was hospitalised after a serious car accident. Direct Line were very sympathetic and sent an engineer to view the car within a few days. They phoned me with an offer for the car which was a total loss. I only had to sign a form to say accepted the offer; there was no other paperwork.
    I received a ...

    I have renewed my car insurance for the third time now with Direct Line after having the first year free (this came with the purchase of the car), the second year at £330 and the third at £318, all fully comp. I am under twenty-five.

    This figure has included no claims protection, whi ...

    Direct Line Car Insurance are a really good company, I also get discounts off of my home, breakdown and travel insurance which is a bonus. Really pleased with the service and attitude, it makes me feel like a valued customer.

    Direct Line:
    The saying you get what you pay for applies here. My wife had a accident with a taxi driver who scared her into signing a admission of fault. When I advised this they did not care and said that she should not have signed it. Also no courtesy car and they took 3 week to even take the ca ...

    I rang at least 20 insurance agencies, Direct Line kept coming up far cheaper than others. www.tesco.com almost matched them, but not quite.
