Direct Line has launched a discount scheme for anyone insuring more than one car. The discount will automatically be given to policyholders if they insure two or more cars with Direct Line.
For every second, third and up to a maximum of 10 policies the customer will benefit from a 10 per cent discount. So, for example, a family of four with mum, dad and two children all driving their own cars will now save 40 per cent on the cost of the overall policy.
Unlike multiple car discounts from other insurers – Direct Line’s discount will 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 new policy is now open to all new and existing customers. Current 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.
Research recently commissioned by Direct Line revealed that 85 per cent of households now have at least one car and 40 per cent of households have two or more vehicles at their address.
The UK is truly a nation of car lovers with Brits spending more on their wheels than almost anywhere else in Europe. One in four motorists say they spend more than £10,000 on a car – and many admit to taking out loans (32 per cent), forfeiting holidays (three per cent) and blowing their savings (44 per cent) to fund them.
Emma Holyer, Motor Spokesperson for Direct Line commented:
"It doesn’t seem to matter how much it costs to buy and keep a second car Brits still love them. We have turned into a nation of car fanatics foregoing fun activities in order to get our next set of flashy wheels. The two-car household is now more likely to be the three or four-car household with the costs of owning cars running into thousands. Direct Line will now be able to help ease this financial burden by offering a discount to anyone insuring more than one car with us." |
