Im currently with Directline and havent really checked it on years. So thought I would this year. Renewal due at the weekend.
Looked on Compare the Market. Lots of cheap offers but I dont really know the providers.
Also tried Saga which was surprisingly more expensive that Directline.
Any insurers that arent shit I should check out?
Or avoid?

Always worth taking the price from compare the market and putting it to your insurer to see if they'll come close or match it.

We've had the most horrendous experience with Liverpool Victoria (LV) on a house insurance claim - well over three years of constant stress and still not resolved. Three complaints to the Ombudsman (all upheld), threats of legal action our end and they've already been ordered to pay us more than two grand in compensation.
I know it's not car insurance, but I wouldn't touch that company with a bargepole.

I went with the AA. Solid Defaqto reviews and 300 cheaper

Admiral, combined car and house insurance. I send them money, never claimed so can't comment any further.

TBF the clue was in their name.

I'm also with them for house Insurance, never had to claim. Will look to move on next renewal in solidarity.
