Direct Line Car Insurance Review article updated April 2014. This is going to be a bit of a moan about Direct Line Car Insurance renewal rates to be honest, though I’ll try to make it a Direct Line Insurance Review as well. I’m not a big car user, since I have a home office I tend to work from home most days, so a week can pass between using my car, also own a campervan (have a back problem and need to rest on long journeys). I sometimes use the car so little that the cars battery goes flat, so a car isn’t exactly important to my life style (would rather walk), that being said I couldn’t live without a […]

The topic is about Direct Car Insurance Policy and the rates are going to be honest. According to the Direct Line Sales staff the small towns have higher crime rates than big cities.
According to the sources DirectLine is a well known UK comapny having cheapest car insurance policy. It had been noticed that Halifax Car Insurance policy is good and is saving money by doing the insurance at lower price.
So check out yourself at Halifax Car Insurance and saves £70 a year. Some of the companies also do the insurance of Transit Vans.

Look at all the car insurance link spammers trying to gain links to their sites from this page!
I just love how many insurance gurus and experts that are reading my post, very funny :-)
For the few insurance links spammers that have actually read the comments (most will be using automated software to spam) note how there are no links from the commenter’s name.
I created the WordPress theme that’s on this site (Stallion Responsive SEO Theme) and because of link spammers by default you can NOT add a website URL to your comment and even if you manage to add one through link spamming software the theme doesn’t show it anyway.
So please all you insurance experts and gurus like “Rodney The Car Insurance Guru” and “Derek The Business Insurance Expert” stop wasting your time commenting here, it will not get you a backlink or even any click thru traffic.

Insurers now offer better prices to new customers than they do for existing customers at renewal. Crazy but why would they do that?
The market for new customers is so hot, the only way to get any is to slash the price. Insurers then hope to make it back at renewal. Thats why many people complain insurers treat new customers better than existing ones and it’s true.
Insurers are prepared to loose money just to get new customers so even those companies that offer good renewal prices will loose customers to the price slashers and as a business that is loosing customers will eventually go under, thay all join in.
We then see this daft situation where insurers and many other businesses like banks and building societies offer better rates to new customers at the expense of existing cutomers.
I guess this means you should change your insurer every year although it’s worth finding a company or broker who is reasonably priced and treats you well. If we valued service more than the absolute cheapest price then companies would have to give better customer service in all areas.
Just an interesting point! A guy called Peter Woods started Direct Line for RBS and then sold his share to the bank.
Esure is Halifax Banks insurance offering. Esure was stared by – Peter Woods. Yes, its the same guy.
As an Insurance Broker myself, I have sold car insurance and van insurance for the last 40 years. Thats why I know all this useless stuff!

Car Insurance, a big ripoff
I am 40 years old this year, yet I still see car insurance quotes over £400 for a car of the same value and yet I have 10 yrs no claims, been driving for 18 and can this be so unbelivable
Direct Line Insurance
I love the Direct Line TV commercials, they’re better than a lot of the programs on TV but their claim that over 50% of their customers pay less than £350 for car insurance is laughable, especially since if you are not a 100% safe bet with zero risk.
Direct Line won’t even quote you.
I had 3 points on my licence and was refused a quote.
Maybe that’s how they can make such outlandish claims.
Direct Line Insurance
Direct Line Car Insurance Review
I’m on a #bashtag mission with direct line since they p’eed me off yesterday. Filled in an online quote for car insurance and got a good price.
Hubbie suggested he call Direct Line cause they’ve had his business insurance for the last 5 years as well as several home insurances, thought as a truly loyal customer he may get some discount, which he did.
They wanted an initial payment of £365 which I didn’t have on one card so I accepted the quote and took Reference to call back with after switching some money around. sorted the funds and called back 20 mins later and they upped the premium from £1800 to £3100 cause even though I filled in the title, mr and gender, male they had thought my named driver was female.
When she said its for you and your daughter I said no myself and my son the price changed due to ‘human error’. THEIR mistake yet they wouldn’t back down and had no supervisor or manager available.
After arguing for sometime I hung up, redialed Direct Line and got a supervisor who wouldn’t do anything either. Have told him I’m mentioning them on all social networking sites and contacting ombudsman. Smarmy little shit said ‘ if I sold it to you at that price you would be committing fraud.
I accused him of being sexist as the female insurance quote was significantly cheaper he had nothing more to say other than insurance quotes discussed over the phone aren’t verbal contracts and are not legally binding.
I have now gone with co-operative car insurance.

That was the response I got from a member of Direct Line customer services after receiving an online quote of nearly £1700 for a Honda Civic CTDi 2.2 from Direct Line car insurance. My previous policy was just short of £600 with AXA and had my insurance renewal had gone up to £750.
I’m 42 and have been driving for over 20 years with no convictions or claims in at least 10 years. So I mentioned about a young lad at my place of work who had previously paid £5000 for his 1st years insurance and in that time had to make a claim and lost his NCB.
His insurance was halved for the following year. The jumped up so and so said ‘that’s the way it goes’ then hung up before I could say anything else.
No wonder Direct Line are NOT on comparison sites because they would be at the bottom!!
