No DL renewal despite 15 years of no claims.

Direct Line didn't renew my buildings and contents insurance because it was a 2nd home, only used by us.We have had insurance with DL for 15 years since we bought the house from new and never made a single claim.They suggested Gallaghers which was FOUR TIMES the premium.We wnt with RAC at a samll increase over DL's last premium.Disgraceful Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

Direct to contact no messing with claims

Have been with for many years. Had a couple of claims and have been very satisfied with the outcome Reviewed on: 29th August 2023

Easy to deal with except at renewal.

Very happy with the covergage and customer service we have had for many years on our two properties. My only bug-bear is the "renewal dance" where they seem to quote an inflated price, I call them and they revert to something close to or lower than the old premium. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Generally offer a competitive quote.

I must be honest, I have had house insurance for 30 years now and have yet to make a claim. I therefore cannot comment on how good Direct Line are in handling claims. I can say however, that I have generally found Direct Line to offer the most competitive quotes and so have stayed with them for numerous years. You will not find their rates on comparison websites and you will have to deal directly with Direct Line either by phone or internet. Definitely worth the effort of checking.
