Direct Line is offering a special discount on its car insurance policies . The insurer is now giving customers 12 months car insurance for the price of ten, which could be of help to anyone trying to save money on their premiums during the credit crunch .
Policy-holders of Direct Line’s comprehensive policies are covered for vandalism or accidents involving another driver who is uninsured. Claims for these reasons do not reduce policy-holders’ no claims discount .
Maggie Game, head of car insurance at Direct Line, said: “We are not on price comparison websites so we don’t pay them commissions. This means that when you come to us direct we could give you savings .”
Norwich Union recently published data which found that January is the worst month of the year for car accidents . The short days combined with roads that are often icy make it dangerous for drivers, which results in more car insurance claims .
