Across the UK, people and communities are coming together to do the right thing by putting others and our planet first. Here's what we're doing at Direct Line.
Your insurance prices explained
There's no getting away from the fact that prices everywhere are going up, and unfortunately insurance is no different.
The price you're quoted is made up from lots of different factors, and those factors tend to fall into two groups: personal factors (for example, how likely you are to make a claim) and outside factors (for example, inflation and the cost of claims).
All insurance is being affected, but many customers are noticing it particularly in their car insurance premiums. Follow this link to learn more about how your car insurance is priced.
If you're having any financial problems, there is more information just below which could help.
Coping with the cost of living
People across the UK are struggling with the increased cost of living. If you're having financial problems and are struggling with your monthly insurance payments, please contact us or call us on 0345 878 5587 and we'll see what we can do to help.
Don't cancel any payments or direct debits through your bank as this can affect your policy with us and may affect your credit rating and your ability to borrow money.
