I have called out the Direct Line breakdown team a few times over several years, e.g oil light on, wheel came off trailer, blown head gasket.
Every time they have been very helpful and quick to respond. Small matters like recovering car to my home to get me there on a friday evening, then coming out ...

Poor. Will revert to RAC. Their service is stressful, costly: over and above the premium (if only in calls to sort out admin errors) and aggravating and demeaning to boot. Don't believe that they provide roadside or home-start assistance. I was lucky if I would have seen anything other than a tow-tr ...

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 ...

We broke down on New Year's Eve outside Brussels and to their credit the Belgian dispatcher was on top of the situation within minutes. We had Eurotunnel tickets for our return to the UK but we couldn't use them because the car would barely move to get on and off the train. Direct Line pushed us t ...

Made a quick phone call to Direct Line Breakdown Cover and was promised someone would be there in the hour. 2 mins later received follow up SMS confirming the above with ...

Direct Line Breakdown Cover - Fan belt broke on Boxing day heading down the A1 just around Stevenage. Phone call was easy, Recovery vehicle arrived within the hour ( no first response by a bloke who says he can't fix it and THEN calls a recovery truck ). Straight back to Peterborough, and set off ...

I joined Green Flag some ten years ago. When this company became Direct Line, the trouble started. They took money for Euro cover, and have never addressed this problem by having the courtesy to explain why, though they sent a cheque for something under the amount owed. I am about to follow this up. ...

Requested breakdown cover for both my car and my husband's with Direct Line. My husband's car broke down over 100 miles from home. Phoned for help and was told he was not covered. After a huge row, a tow truck was finally sent but only to nearest town. Two days later, Direct Line finally admitted ...

The breakdown cover offered by Direct Line is very sketchy, please check the exact cover details as we needed recovery home from 50 miles away and got told recovery was limited to a 10 miles radius, and there would be approx £2 a mile to pay to be recovered,
so please check the details carefu ...
