Someone drove into the back of my car earlier this year and Direct Line has been great helping me sort everything out, making sure I had an appropriate hire car (the first one I was offered was a smart car and I had to try and get a toddler in the back! They immediately upgraded me to a more suitable car). Reviewed on: 20th August 2019

The website is easy to use and understand. For a 20tear old driver with no no claims bonus, I was offered a pretty decent price (Without a black box) which is absolutely amazing. However this insurance didn’t offer a lot of deals/ discounts or an incentive. Reviewed on: 13th August 2019

Every time I need to contact Direct Line to make a change to my policy, there are always low waiting times to get through to an advisor. They have several options online to use as well as phone which is convenient and any issues are usually resolved then and there. Reviewed on: 11th August 2019
