Direct line car insurace??

Question

been told they are good/cheap

would anyone agree??

Answer 1

well is best to shop around .. sometime the private company offer cheaper premium too .. and less hasle when you have any claim

Answer 2

Not at all. No one can beat Tesco car insurance. I insured a 2.2 Liter engine 8 seater van plus 2 year no claim discount for only less than £300 a year. I took qoutes from the others including direct line and gave me prices ranging from £400 to £600 a year.

Answer 3

They're usually pretty good, but go to http://www.confused.com & let them do the comparison.

Answer 4

Phone around or use one of the websites to get quotes.

All the figures that have been quoted previously are pointless as no-one has the same driving record, which is the primary consideration by insurance companies in giving you a quote.

Don't forget to compare what you get before deciding on a policy.

What may look cheap won't be if in the event of a claim you are left to wait for the insurance companies to sort out any claim.  Paying a little extra and having a courtesy car available and fast claims service is certainly more preferable in my mind.

Answer 5

Up until last year I never shopped around, and assumed (wrongly I know) that my insurance company Id been with for ten years would be cheaper.

Switched to direct line and instantly saved £200+.

Kwik Fit - £380.00  

Direct Line - £169.00

Now thats a whopping difference.

Answer 6

what is good and cheap for one person may not be for another. i work for an insurance broker. what you must understand is insurers take all details into account when doing a quote for you so it differs from person to person. some insurers are cheaper on certain postcodes, vehicles, age of drivers, claims experience etc. insurers each have a certain market that they want to attract. therefore, you and your next door neighbour with the same car could get quotes from the same insurer, but yours be £500 dearer because you are 5 yrs younger and that isnt the market they are after etc...you are better off searching a wide line of insurers to get the best deal on your circumstances. try confused.com as they search a wide market for you.

Answer 7

i would, my brother is on direct line. was the cheapest one we could find.

Get it online and you get it cheaper, its easy to get a quote too.
