“How Dial Direct makes car insurance simple”

★★★★★

written by magsnsandy2 on 26/09/2023

I have been with Dial Direct for a number of years and they have always been so simple to use!!!! Having RAC cover has been fantastic and I’ve had to use them a few times with no problems!!! I would never go anywhere else!!!! I’ve never had to make a claim - thank God - but I’m sure they would be so helpful. There’s nothing so can think of that they need to improve - just continue to be amazing!!!!

“Simple and straightforward ”

★★★★★

written by SAC62 on 24/09/2023

All really simple, even for an old duffer like me! Reasonable pricing for excellent cover, with little or no faffing about. My renewal came through email, it was only a small amount more than last year, so it was an easy choice to renew with dialdirect.

“Best insurance at a reasonable price ”

★★★★★

written by david32hope on 24/09/2023

The Dial Direct service and cost of insurance is the best bang for your buck on the market. For the amount that you pay and the customer satisfaction hits the nail on the head. They did such a good job, I took out a second year of insurance cover.

“Very helpful when I broke down”

★★★★★

written by 225O'Keefe on 19/09/2023

Very helpful when I broke down alone, on a very busy road miles from home recently. Very grateful for my RAC cover that is included in my insurance premium. Also very grateful to the RAC and Nottingham police, who were as equally helpful.

“Repeated customer”

★★★★★

written by Jokat75 on 19/09/2023

I have always found DD easy, transparent to deal with and reasonable priced. I do check prices every year at renewal but even if there is a few pound difference I just tend to stay where I am unless its a big difference due to the positive customer experience. The only thing I don't like is the admin charge to change anything on the policy but I have only had to do that once.

“Affordable car insurance ”

★★★★★

written by 0243 on 14/09/2023

I chose Dial Direct car insurance for 2022/23 as being the most affordable and which included my on going needs for safe cover and driving. As soon as its reminder for renewal appeared for the next twelve months, I was very surprised that the increased premium was nowhere near as much as anticipated. In fact it was just a few pounds different making it possible to remain with Dial Direct for another year.

“High renewal price and high cancellation charges”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Megang87 on 05/09/2023

I had to change cars within the first month of my renewed policy. To amend my policy to the new car they wanted to charge me £1092! My original car was only around £380. If I was a new customer it was £800, so no idea where the extra £300 comes from. Other companies were charging around £450 for the new car. To cancel my policy (I’m not paying that much for insurance!) it cost £135 in non refundable fees.

All my dealings with Dial Direct have been quick and easy - which I can't say for most of the other companies I deal with, unfortunately. Staff are polite and professional, explain everything, and check you are completely happy. A pleasure to deal with.

“Long winded online ”

★★★☆☆

written by Lolapolarbear on 02/09/2023

Doing my car insurance online was frustrating and long winded, eventually I managed to speak with an agent based in South Africa who was very helpful, however 24 hours later I still have not been able to sort out Portal/account due to password problems so I have not yet seen my documents

What do you mean " misfortune" it's a bit vague. I have insurance for my car with them and never had a problem
Report this content virtualpict Written on: 18/07/2016
I don't know what you mean by "misfortune"? Very vague as previous person said. I have insurance with this company for both our cars and have done for a few years. I also had home contents insurance with them. The quotes are very reasonable. The RAC breakdown cover is invaluable and legal cover is included too. I don't ever just renew, I still shop around and then get Dial Direct to better the quote. You have to haggle. When I did claim in 2011 for an accident, it was straightforward and painless. I got a courtesy car no problem. The people I deal with at the call centre are very pleasant and professional, like with all people if you treat them nicely and not like dirt, then they'll be nice back! It is easy to log in to the account and we don't have huge wads of paper sent in the post.
