In trying to attract new customers and retain existing policyholders, Directline have recently enhanced their car insurance product with some new features.

For the first time named drivers specified on a Directline policy will be offered no claims discounts. This benefit is intended to help named drivers who do not have their own car insurance to build up their own no claims discount. In the future therefore, assuming a Directline named driver does not have any claims for five years, they will be entitled to receive up to 5 years NCD when they take out their own car insurance.

Another incentive if you are a single driver and the only person insured on the policy is Directline’s matched no claims discount. This applies to a second car insured to be driven by you and no one else. In addition to Directline applying your no claims discount to the second vehicle, you may qualify for additional multi-car discounts on offer.

Company car drivers no claims discount will also be recognised provided you are over the age of 25 and no claims have been made on the company insurance policy.

Like other large insurance companies, three types of cover are offered, third party, third party fire and theft and comprehensive. An accident action pack and 24 hour accident and windscreen help lines are available on all policies. Car windscreen repair is included within comprehensive cover and legal protection insurance is optional.
