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

Great service

Supportive and responsive claims team, made the issue far less stressful. Reviewed on: 19th September 2018

Appalling service

Apalling service . Or none at all in my case been trying to contact someone to have a policy sent out for 3 days now. Left hanging on line each time for at least 15mins only to be cut off each time . Disgraceful service! Reviewed on: 14th September 2018

Fairly Cheap But Good Cover and Streight

Reasonbly cheap. The one time I claimed the were very strieght forward, no quiblles, even helpful. Reviewed on: 9th September 2018

Easy to deal with

Quick and easy to deal with and no quibbling Reviewed on: 6th September 2018

Better Than Most

i'm not going to overly sing their praises because their premiums are higher than most, but I stay with them due to the better turn over time of receiving money when I have had to make a claim,. Reviewed on: 5th September 2018

Hugely dissappinting

I thought direct line had great service which is how they justify their higher than normal prices. The person I spoke to to buy a policy sounded like her was getting p’d off at some of my questions. I just wanted to make sure I was covered. Disappointing. Reviewed on: 2nd September 2018

good in a crisis

Really helpful and quick when it came to repairing the burst sewer waste in the upstairs bathroom, came out within the hour . Plus they are really quite competitively priced Reviewed on: 2nd September 2018
