Decent lot

Had to claim once and can't fault them for their support during the whole process. Stayed with them ever since as they are always competitive at renewal and I trust them more than most of the scam artists in this industry... Reviewed on: 12th September 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

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
