Ok

Always had an ok experience with this company but they put up my premium after I was with them for a year, so no loyalty for existing customers so I switched.

Will never deal with this company again. Had an issue with a claim where they sent someone who they latterly admitted had no construction quantifications out to assess a claim for storm damage to the roof of recent build house as due to the roof being incorrectly built. I sought independent advice that said they were wrong, at which point the reason changed to 'lack of maintenance'. This is a company that will squirm and lie at every opportunity to avoid paying out on a legitimate claim. In any other walk of life they would be considered fraudsters, but because they had offered me a token amount (I think it was £50) for the claims about the incorrect build by the person who visited I was unable to pursue a claim with the Ombudsman (who seemed to be looking for a reason not to look at it). Lesson learnt - if a company offers you a gesture don't accept it until they have full resolved your claim.

My experience with the claim handlers was great. Quick, friendly, efficient and informative. As a result of this experience I stayed with Direct Line the following year with an expected price rise. Unfortunately when I went to renew for the 3rd year (after over a year no claims) the price really leapt up so I had to move to another provider.

Great cover for the price!

We have had Direct Line home insurance for a few years now. We had to claim one year when there was a terrible storm and the roof tiles were blown off the house. They responded very quickly and paid out without any trouble.

Refused to pay out on storm damage to new build house initially claiming that there had been no storm, then when I proved their had been stated that the damage was a 'maintenance issue' with the roof. In any other type of business this would be fraud, but apparently it's ok because it's an insurance company.

Read the small print

Not positive..... Water damage.... Yes they will eventually send someone out to stop the leak. But as for repairing the damage.... That's a no. Go in our case... Most unhelpful peeps on the other end of the phone...

Not reliable

Quoted a price - I saved it, and their system lost it. Re-quoted exactly the same data - 20% more expensive. Rang the up to be told that happens all the time. If you can't trust them to quote properly, what chance of getting a claim dealt with?
