Praise for Insurance company

[BigBazza]

Well, thats it, the cheque came today from Direct Line, paid in full for my beautiful car!
I rang them to quote on my new car and they said they wouldn't be taking all 13yrs no claims off me (un-protected) they would leave me with 3yrs no claims and when I renew in Jan they will make it up to 4 years.
Can't complain at that, or the service I have had since the accident both me and third party.
My new car is cheaper to insure so they are even sending me a premium refund!!
Well done Direct Line, I can reccomend them as you never know how good they are going to be until the fateful day!

Had a great experience with DL on the only claim I've ever made. Quibbled their initial offer, and guy came back with 10% more the same day. All sorted without any fuss.

Can't believe you didn't protect your no claims, mind...

[BigBazza]

Hmmmm, I was absolutely to the limit financially to buy and insure the car as it was, and at the end of the day - I wasn't going to crash it when I insured it!! lol

Hi Baz, nice to see you still trawling, you'll be back !!

On my claim, I didn't think Tesco's were brilliant, the extra £100 legal cover I paid involved them saying " contact the motor insurance bureau"

£100 well spent, I don't think

Mines due this month, so I'll check out DL. (I'd rather pay the extra)

Glad you got it sorted Barry. What car have you bought now then?

Have heard good things about DL, good job I took cover with them this year. Just a shame they charged me an extra £105 for fessing up to upgrades...ho hum, still cheap, and my (70%)NCB is protected

Thanks Russ, Mick, have bought a brand spanking Saab 9-2 Aero Conv - all the bells and whistles keep the Mrs quiet for a while (EuroNcap5*) the long term plan however is a crew cab pick up and a Chim 500 I think.

Thanks for all the support over the past rollercoaster year, all I REALLY want is to have my baby back but there ya go!

Don't you mean 9-3 Aero Conv ? Yes I know I'm a
but lived with Saabs for 20+ years.

Of course I meant 9-3, my big fat fingers lol!!

Although they have a 9-2 in the US i've heard, don't know what format that takes though?
