Direct Line launches drivers discount

Direct Line has announced the launch of a discount for anyone insuring more than one car. The discount will automatically be given to policyholders if they insure two or more cars with the firm. The move comes as research recently commissioned by the firm show that 85% of households now have at least one car and 40% of households have two or more vehicles at their address. For every second, third and up to a maximum of 10 policies the customer will benefit from a 10% discount. So, for example, a family of four all driving their own cars will now save 40% on the cost of the overall policy. The discount will also be available to friends living at the same address and motorists who are named drivers on another Direct Line policy, regardless of where they live.

Usually discounts for insuring multiple cars are limited to drivers related to each other or those living at the same address.

The policy is now open to all new and existing customers. Existing Direct Line customers can choose whether to apply the discount to the first policy to renew or the policy with the largest premium.

The two policy renewal dates do not need to match and customers with one policy who call up to insure another car will automatically be given the discount when they insure the second car.
