About Direct Line
Direct Line famously isn't listed on price-comparison sites — you buy directly from them. The trade-off for not shopping the aggregators is a reputation for good service and generous standard cover, including features that rivals charge extra for (such as a guaranteed hire car on comprehensive policies). Worth getting a quote directly to compare against your comparison-site results.
