Review of the Direct Line, Home Insurance:

Not necessirily the cheapest but good value.

Not necessirily the cheapest but good value. When it counts i.e. when you claim, they were excellent. Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

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... Reviewed on: 19th August 2019

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? Reviewed on: 23rd July 2019

Competitive and thorough

I insured my flat through Direct Line. It was cheap and easy. Best of all, the cover and service was thorough. Reviewed on: 17th July 2019

great

great and easy to claim with - customer service is great. never had any problems Reviewed on: 16th July 2019

Good value

Good value policy and good customer service Reviewed on: 16th July 2019

Dependable

Lots of additional perks offered that you can’t get with standard insurance elsewhere Reviewed on: 7th July 2019

Does the job but excesses should be made clear

I broke my iPad and tried to claim but was told I had a £200 excess to pay. I wasn’t aware of this and luckily managed to fix it without them for £40. I think excesses should be made more obvious when purchasing insurance. Reviewed on: 5th July 2019

Reliable and innovative

A good company with some great insurance products at a decent price. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Good choice of cover

Having being in the business in the past. This company has all the requirements for me. Everything been smooth and clear to understand Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Home emergency cover

Toilet bowl filling up when flushing, taking hour to clear. Direct line got plumber out within 2 hours and resolved. Reviewed on: 21st September 2018
