Direct Line Pet Insurance reviews (33)

Excellent Product!

Been with DL for pet insurance for some years now. Sadly had to use the policy for an injury to my cat last year. They dealt with my claim efficiently, sympathetically and made me feel my pet mattered. Thankfully a full recovery was achieved. They dealt with the Vet direct so once I had paid the excess all the stress was taken away and I could concentrate on my cats recovery. Reviewed on: 15th September 2021

Great Pet Insurance Company

I've only ever had positive experiences with Direct Line Pet Insurance. The premiums are fair and affordable, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Thankfully I've not had to claim yet, but the process has been explain thoroughly and based on other's experiences, I don't believe I'll have any problems if/when I do need to make a claim.

Pet insurance help

Direct line are always so easy to deal with, our vet just sends off the forms for us. Although they are extra busy during Covid they have kept us updated on the claim process. Would always recommend. Reviewed on: 5th September 2020

Very fast and responsive

My cat Bee was unfortunately knocked down and we thought we were going to lose her. If it had not have been for direct line stepping in and taking over all the financial parts then it would have been a lot more stressful. We called them to explain what had happened and they responded straight away and organised for her to be treated at her vets. I didnt have to worry about anything. Bee fully recovered and igruly believe it's because direct line were so fast in responding and getting her the treatment she needed. I would definitely recommend Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Horse insurance

We've had cover for our horse for the past 13 years and find that it's great value for money compared to anything else on the market. Reviewed on: 21st August 2019

Easy pet insurance

When I got both my kittens recently it was so easy to set up their cover. The quote online was easy to understand, staff on the phone were very helpful and when I changed some details on it again very helpful. Reviewed on: 9th July 2019

Simple and Easy

Brilliant quote for my EBD - cheapest and best quote from known providers...very happy Reviewed on: 8th July 2019

Fast help in an animal emergency

All my pets are insured by Direct Line and when Charlie cat was hit by a car earlier this year I knew they would take care of the vet bill. He needed several overnight stays and surgery and I was very relieved that I had their insurance and it was so easy to make a claim. He’s back to his old self now. Reviewed on: 17th September 2018
