Title: Insurance - Direct Line
Post by: chrisdicko on March 31, 2008, 18:13:46 PM
Is anyone with Direct Line for their car insurance?? As mine is due to get renewed very soon, and they are the cheapest up to now. Are they ok etc?? Im currently with Elephant, and have always been helpful when Ive emailed/phoned them. Also, with most insurance companies they ask where its going to be parked over night etc, but with Direct Line they dont seem to ask/say where it is going to be.......?

Unlike most insurance companies, Direct Line are an underwriter and by going to them you cut out the middle man - their service is spot on usually. They dont like Jap imports much though.

Admiral is another of the big names, I think Hastings and Elephant are part of Admirals group.

Im 26 now and it made some difference to me when I hit 25 but not as much as I thought it would :(

I wouldnt let it stop you getting another car if you can afford/want one :)

Really matt? I thought it would. TBH, im quite poor at the moment, so cant really afford the Jap car I want anyway....so will have to wait a bit anyway if im sensible.

Anyone know about the parking situation?

Direct Line ftw, tbh.

I have all my policies with them - insurance up the yin-yang.

 :rock:

Shame they dont insure against sh*t ISPs (http://www.nildram.net) like Nildram

Chunter, chunter....
