Direct Line - Lowering

[Thom]

What are direct line like if your car is lowered. I'm currently covered by them and just wondering how much extra you've had to pay if they let you lower it at all?
Cheers :approve:

How old are you?

 

[Shotgunsjay]

have to be 25 to modify youre car with direct line

 

[Thom]

I'm 18. My dad's the main driver on it but will they just say that it can be done but I'd have to be taken off the policy?

 

[RDH]

Fail.

No mods for under 25s

Another fraudster we got here. No you cannot lower it with directline. I'm pretty sure they won't insure under 21's on cars such as a GTi, VTS, RS, and the like in fact any car remotely sporty and they won't go anywhere near you. That's from my personal experience anyway, glad I'm with Flux now, they will do anything lmao.

Yeah they are pretty strict, they wont touch anyone under 21 with a high performance car, and no mods under 25

i was insured through them with my clio, they refused to insure my golf so i had to go elsewhere

Fraudster? I fail to see how I am committing fraud at all. It's my dads car, he's the main driver, I drive it occasionally. Should probably get the facts right before you go accusing people of things.

Thanks for your help anyway guys. Looks like she won't be getting lowered.

im with direct line have all my mod parts sitting in my room 3 months to go and can change to admiral for flux whoop and fit them!

No mods if your under 25 its a bit harsh tbh but they where the cheapest for me so I went for it just for the ncb.

Does your dad want the car lowered?

who really cares if his dad wants it lowered.

best give them a phone but sure when i was with my 1.2 the old need to be 25 line poped up so i just kept the car standard kinda.... lol

I used to work for Direct Line, so as what has been said above, any modifications that will affect the look/performance of the car you would have to be 25 or over.

Used to deal with stuff like this all the time, you wouldnt believe the amount of under 25's who modify there car, have a claim, then Direct Line wouldnt pay for the claim and cancel the policy.

Then they would have the cheek to make a complaint.

fronted risk. they wont payout anyway so get it done lol

 

[Keano]

Exactly. If you are an "occasional user" as you say, then why do you want to lower it?
If you phone them up, they are gonna think the same thing and realise the information provided to the insurers about the policy is "fraudulent", as you are probably not the "occasional user" and that your dad probably has his own car.

Thanks for all your help guys.

And just for the people who won't listen, I am the occasional user. My dad doesn't have his own car, some people should think before accusing people of things that aren't true.

Thanks again guys.
