Pay them your money, but don't expect too much.
General Comments
Direct Line sent me a reminder a couple of weeks ago to let me know my breakdown insurance was being automatically renewed.
Reading through the literature, they were at pains to point out I had three years no claims discount, which totals approximately 15% discount.
This was the second niggle as being as I have actually been with them quite a few years without claim.
I used to be with Green Flag before this, but was automatically migrated to Direct Line when the two companies combined a few years ago.
My third and final niggle came when I went on-line to compare prices and cover offered by other companies, only to discover that I can join Direct Line as a new customer with a 10% discount . For the same price as my three year no claims 15% discounted price!
Whats more, I could join Green Flag (my original provider) for nearly £10.00 less as a new customer!
Tried to telephone Direct Line for an explanation, only to be fobbed me off with "Sorry sir, we can't do anything about internet prices".
I have nothing against Green Flag, and I have to say it was the level of service from both Green Flag and their local agent in Cornwall, when I had cause to use them many years ago, that kept me paying my premium without question every year. (until now!)
