So watching telly just now, and Direct Line advert comes on offering 10% discount on second car.
We have two cars with them, and two house insurances.
Because we are on 'lowest insurance premium they can offer', the second car discount is 96p on £124. Now I am no maths wizard, but that is not 10%.
A call to them suggests that the advert is only guidance, and the 10% is not applied to all, and they cannot go below 'lowest' premium...Not sure they should be allowed to advertise as they do...
.
On the upside, a bump a few weeks back that was not our fault only added 92p to premium...

dob 'em in to advertising standards - I bet it's in the small print on the ad but probably "insufficient emphasis" or whatever

I have no sympathy for anyone that pays £124 for their car insurance.

Be honest, this whole post is you showing off about your low insurancce premium 🙂 I think the new slang term is "Moasting".

Nah, it is having the Scottish money ethic rub off and feeling like I want my £12.40 refunded.

To be honest the thread title offered so much more than car insurance.

I already had my phone out.

Their website is similarly misleading, no mention of "only guidance" but then again direct line are a shower of shits
