Review of the Direct Line, Home Insurance:

great service without problems

Good qualtiy company deffinately use them next year, this is our secound year with them and although it went up a little we do live in an area that can flood, so getting a insurance provider is never easy, these guys have been great. Reviewed on: 24th April 2020

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

Friendly positive customer service

After swapping home insurance to Direct Line I discovered an error on the policy document, rang customer service they were great, correcting the error and waiving additional cost. Reviewed on: 10th September 2017

Simple process, good value

No issues with policy and easy to apply. Best value for money Reviewed on: 5th September 2017

WESITE DIFFICULTY

TRYING TO ARRANGE INSURANCE THE WAY I WISHED IT TO BE WAS SO DIFFICULT THAT I RESORTED TO PHONING CUSTOMER SERVICE IN ORDER TO DO SO. I AM STILL NOT SURE IF IT IS THE RIGHT LEVEL OF COVER. Reviewed on: 4th September 2017

Good value

Easy to get a quote, good value compared to other insurers. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2017

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

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
