One of the guys on an EV Whatsapp chat I am on has just received his Direct Line renewal quote. Was paying £1447. Renewal quote £3469. A 2.4x increase. Yowza!They managed to scoop mine. Cheapest on just about all comparison sites albeit some with a fair bit more commission than others. Paid £704 other than the £645 for the essential since this took a few privileges away such as European full coverage cover and driving other cars I believe.
