Diect Line - good up until this year!

I've been with Direct Line for some years - it's been the best deal for me so far and, importantly, allows me to add my daughter or another driver when family visit from Spain and borrow my car for their holiday. But...I've just seen the quote for my car insurance from September and I will certainly be shopping around as the hike is just unacceptable! So... sorry but unless I can get a better quote from Direct Line I'll be moving on! Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

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

Excellent
