Also check the policy, especially if travelling abroad. It appears that whilst providing European cover Direct Line only cover you fully comp for the first 3 days abroad and then it is third party. They don't like to tell you this. There are other differences (they don't always just pick a number, they change some of the benefits for low quotes). Things to watch are legal cover, replacement car provision (they can take it away before you get your car back), excesses, etc. etc. I was with Zurich but they quoted me an astronomical price for my Audi (after only charging a very small increment when changed with six months remaining 
) so I had a good look around but became aware of hidden differences when asking lots of questions. Tip, be careful. It's now insured with Audi (which is of limited use to this forum) but have also changed my wife's car from Zurich to Aviva who had the best combination of price vs features. Glad to see others came to the same conclusion.
Never understood no claims bonus' either. Despite being protected you policy still increases dramatically if you have a claim. Bunch of crooks.

What with the juddery brakes and the imminent cam belt change it could be a bit of an expensive time.... my sympathies to you also!
