I have been with Direct Line for many years and had no problems, but then again I hadn't had an accident.

However, as their premiums started to rise well above the rate of inflation each year, I tried looking elsewhere and found DL were no longer a good deal. I then found that DL put my policies onto Automatic Renewal so they could just take the money before I had decided whether to renew with them. I pointed out that they had not asked me and they said it was up to me to ...
