Expensive

Doesn't reward loyal customers so unfortunately moved from this company loyalty doesn't pay, shame as it was a decent company other than cost which is what matters these days Reviewed on: 27th August 2017

Cheap and great!

The cheapest quote we had, and does everything we want with no hassle. been really good! Reviewed on: 22nd August 2017

Fantastic customer service

Very friendly and helpful staff affordable price and easy to contact customer service Reviewed on: 19th August 2017

Good overall cover at a competitive price.

I use Direct Line for my home insurance as they provide good quality cover. They are really competitive price wise too. I always complete a full quote online and find it much cheaper than the renewal price, plus this year there was an added £10 off for taking cover out online. Reviewed on: 10th August 2017

Good value

Used direct line for 2 years now and have not had a problem. The monthly payments are good value and beat other quotes. When I have contacted them the call centre has always been in the UK. Very happy Reviewed on: 3rd August 2017

Ok

They haven't done anything wrong so far... which is good right? Reviewed on: 29th July 2017

GREAT VALUE INSURANCE WITH APPROACHABLE STAFF.

HAVE RENEWED MY POLICY WITH DIRECT LINE FOR THE 2ND YEAR NOW. AFTER RECEIVING MY RENEWAL NOTICE THIS YEAR THOUGHT THE NEW QUOTE WAS A BIT HIGH SO RANG DIRECT LINE AND SECURED A PRICE REDUCTION SO IN THE END ONLY WORKED OUT A COUPLE OF QUID DEARER. Reviewed on: 28th July 2017

Good customer service & clear paperwork.

Recently renewed our home insurance with Direct Line. Received paperwork and emails before renewal to remind me, and to outline the costs. Telephone customer service was good - well trained staff and I wasn't left on hold for ages. However not quite 10/10 because like many companies, the 'automatic renewal' quote was £200 more than last year, but as soon as I phoned them to query it, the figure came down by £150. Reviewed on: 27th July 2017

Good value for money

I've been with Direct line for years, they are a lot cheaper than others. Reviewed on: 26th July 2017

Excellent customer service and price.

I have been with direct line home insurance for about 5 years. I have had to claim twice and I have had excellent customer service with claims being processed quickly. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017
