£199 78 to insure an Aston DB7 Anniversary Edition, (No23) V12 vantage, 2004. Hope they pay out ok if I claim, but that price is very low though I'm limited to 5000 miles per year, I pay more for my Skoda Fabia! I've saved about £800.00 on my former company and I don't use the car a lot anyway so the chance of a claim is reasonably low hopefully. I'll use their multi car discount next year so the Aston might come even lower..
They are are always the cheapest for me along with their sister companies, Churchill and Privelege.
Prior to.using Direct Line, someone insured by them rear ended me and dealing with them was no hassle at all.
However, they do take the piss when the renewal comes through so you need to call them up and get them to match their sister companies or new customer quote, which in my experience they always do.

Used DL a few times including currently for one of my current cars and landlord cover. Some great prices but it does annoy me that every renewal they put up the price a whack until you call them saying you have found it cheaper. This year I couldn't even bothered to find the cheaper price and just called up and politely pointed out that I was tired of this game and what was the best price they would actually do. Sure enough the helpful woman dropped the premium by about 25%. I got the feeling she had heard this complaint before.

well for the sake of balance heres my experience:
I was a longstanding customer with policy on auto renewal for absolutely aeons
I call them a couple of days before the next renewal to discuss a green card and ask them to put the transaction through whilst on the phone
For whatever reason, I not actually sure, despite me saying I wished to renew and telling the guy to process it there was some kind of error and they didnt take the money from my card*
Direct Line then assumed I didnt want the policy and so didnt renew - even though I had spoken to them on the phone!!
They say they sent a letter confirming this which I didnt receive
They didnt phone, text, email or try my mobile
Predictably I got ANPR'd shortly afterwards
