Talking of Directline....

I had a fall out with them after a break in at my house. They took 3 months to sort out my patio doors so I told them I would be moving all my policies - cars, buildings & contents.

When my car renewal came round I tried Privelage (recommended by a friend) who have all their policies underwritten by... you guessed it, Directline. Anyway, Privelage only costs £220 fully comp with protected no claims & guaranteed loan car. This is about £100 cheaper chan Directline for a better policy!

i just got a quote off privelage too and it was £100 cheaper than direct line as well!

My insurance company always ask if the car is standard and if it has any optional extras. I always tell them that I am not aware what features were standard as I didn't buy it from new - so it may well have optional extras. They seem to accept that. Proof of the pudding would be in the event of a big claim of course.

Always makes me laugh how insurance companies seem to be getting so up tight about any little extra on a production car. My other car is a kit car and the insurers who cover them (admittedly mostly specialists) couldn't give a fig when you phone them up to tell them you've tuned the engine and it's now putting out 50% more power!
