I love the Direct Line TV comercials, 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.

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

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!

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 (sell it at http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/wordpress-theme-blix-with-adsense-and-seo-optimisation.html) 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” stop wasting your time commenting here, it will not get you a backlink or even any click thru traffic.

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 awell 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.
