It was cheap to start with but there was questions on the forms that I could not answer. Questions that they new the answers to. So they imposed penalties for not knowing the details, which doubled the cost of the insurance.

I took out insurance on my car with Quoteline Direct. Everything was well. I never missed a payment and was never late. I had no reason to call the as my driving throughout the year was good with no accidents mishaps or claims. I have cancer and I live in Pembrokeshire. I had an appointment at a Cancer Centre in Cardiff to start radiotherapy. When I called to get a quote to put my partner on my policy for one day to help with the driving, who has a clean license and 5 years No claims I was quoted over £100. I found alternative transport. Because of this when you came to renewal I decided to check out the Internet. I found a better offer that gave me more cover at less cost. I informed Quoteline detect I was not renewing and said I would consider them again. I was saved an email of confirmation. Then more emails saying I had not paid the renewal and threatening to cancel the policy I had not renewed. Then letters and email from Close Brothers ltd for missing instalments. I tried to call Quoteline and after waiting on hold for an hour the automated system ended the call twice. I emailed the attaching a copy of the email from them, showing the confirmation of me not renewing with them and asking them to sort it out and confirm this by email to as this will be effecting my credit. Up to now I have had no reply. Thank god I never needed to make a claim with Quoteline Direct, what a shambles. They have still not sorted this out and I don’t need this stress in my condition.

Having had my car insurance with this company for a year, they wrote to me three weeks before my renewal date to tell me that they would take the new premium (60%increase on last year) from my account up to 7 days before renewal date. I didn't recall giving them permission to automatically renew, but when I checked back it was hidden in the small print of my policy. Had it not been for Covid 19, I would have been away on holiday, not seen the letter until my return and the money could been debited from my account before I had the chance to do anything about it. Morally reprehensible, my advice would be not to use this company at all. These companies should be subjected to much tighter regulations.

I took out car insurance with quoteline direct on 15th March and a few days later was put into shielding until july. As I was not driving and my car had not been out of the garage I decided to cancel insurance as I am still shielding until covid is in a better state. I paid £307 and will get less than half back and have to wait 8 weeks for refund. I feel I have just lost a lot of money.If only we had known about covid 19 sooner my car would have been off the road. I would not use this company again.

I received a very expensive quote for renewal of home insurance. I phoned to check it and was told they could discount it by £15. I said I was going to shop around, but would phone back if I wanted to renew. From £187.50, I found the same policy for £114 elsewhere. A week later, imagine my annoyance to find that the £187.50 had been taken from my bank without my authorisation, the joke was they hadn’t even deducted the £15. The original quote said to inform if I wanted to renew, I did not do this. I consider it to be sharp practice to just take this amount of money. When I informed them that I would never deal with them again, the really arrogant gentlemen said "I shan’t lose any sleep over it" I would not recommend this company at all. I have since had the money refunded.

Could not see my policies then tried to cancel within the cooling period, no joy email after email phone call after phone call. Then I get a email saying policy being cancelled and I owe them £131 for what ? I never wanted to continue the policy, absolutely no idea about law and now I call and get through immediately after they’ve gone beyond my cooling period. Absolute scammers

Wouldn’t recommend, if you cancel policy or change vehicle the charges are very costly.

Just a bad company. All the other bad reviews are correct. Please if you have to just pay more money and get someone else to insure your vehicle.
