Review of the Direct Line, Car Insurance:

Easy to deal with, good value and professional

Been with direct line for 2 years now. Still beat the vast majority of competition on premium even when I was an existing customer. Friendly personable and professional staff on the phone. Reviewed on: 8th November 2015

Excellent Service

I was rear ended and needed to have body work done. I was worried about the process because we were no longer using the yellow company, which is very good but very expensive. My vehicle is a nine passenger van, so it is historically tricky to find a suitable rental vehicle. Direct Line made all the arrangements, including the pickup of our van from our home, its repair, its return, and the van rental we used in the interim. I really appreciate the ease of the whole process. They turned a potentially very stressful situation into one where we felt cared for. Thank you, Direct Line! Your prices and your service are excellent. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024
