Direct Line’s motor insurance is even better news for motorists. It aims to offer a range of discounts and product innovations that are aimed at achieving one thing – bringing down the cost of car insurance. These include:

  • Named driver no claims discount
    Direct Line was the first major insurance company in the UK to recognise named drivers’ no claims history.  This means that a named driver on your Direct Line car insurance policy can transfer their no claims history when they take out a Direct Line policy of their own.
  • Matched no claims discount
    Allows you to apply the number of claim free years on an existing Direct Line policy to a new policy for another car and we will apply a discount dependent on that number of years.  This is available when you are the only driver on both policies.  If you would like to apply your number of claim-free driving years to a second policy, please call us.
  • Company car no claims discount
    Claim-free driving of a company car can also be taken into account on a Direct Line policy.  If you would like to apply claim-free driving years to a new Direct Line policy, please call us. This is only available for drivers aged 25 years or older who have had sole use of a company car, which has now been relinquished. We require up to date proof of claim-free driving on the company’s headed paper.
  • Multi-car discount
    If you insure more than one vehicle with us, you will receive a discount on the second and any subsequent vehicles. It is also available if other people in the household have car insurance with Direct Line, or a driver named on your policy insures their own vehicle with Direct Line. 
  • Breakdown multi-car discount
    Our multi-car discounts also include money off your Direct Line breakdown cover

Direct Line also offers a number of optional extra items that can be added on to your motor insurance, such as voluntary excess payments for comprehensive policyholders, guaranteed hire car and motor legal protection.

With all these flexible choices and great-value discounts, you can’t fail to find the motor insurance that’s perfect for your needs. Apply for a car insurance quote online and you also benefit from an instant discount.
