Home Insurance

Home insurance made easy

The whole process of taking out insurance with dial direct was easy and straightforward on their website. I found their prices very competitive and would highly recommend them.

Do not use this company

Bit of a con.
Quoted me £500 for van insurance on confused for my personal van, which I accepted, only to be told that my 9 years company car insurance no claims is not valid, as I cannot get letters quoting every single registration of company cars I've had over 9 years.
I change my company car twice a year, so they want me to remember 18 car registrations!.
So then they doubled my insurance to £1000 approx.
This 'technical issue' was not stated in any of the text upon taking the policy.
All other insurers have accepted letters from my employers, with not having to get every single reg of company cars I've had.
Just be careful with Dial Direct's T&C's before you take a policy with them if your in a similar situation as me.

Then I get an email from Toni wanting to speak to me, im not interested, I am just stuck with you now for a year, probably with a big penalty if I want to leave, if they let me leave without a penalty, I will be gone...

***UPDATE***
just been back on confused and got quotes with NO COMPANY CAR NCB just to check, and I am getting quotes for £700, so I am being over charged by approx £300 by dial direct anyway!

Easy to setup

Easy to set up the policy but renewal price is almost double last years fee and the only way to stop the auto renew is to phone - this can't be done online.

Not impressed by renewal quote

I know Insurance companies put up their quotes year on year but the renewal quote for home insurance was nearly double last years

Easy to do business with

You can either phone or do everything over the website. So easy to do business with and price competitive too.

lesser known but good company

Have provided the lowest price for fully comp car insurance for the last two years for me even as a newly passed driver, also throw in additional perks such as free breakdown cover and can always get through to them relatively quickly on the phone.
