This company specialises in insurance for static caravans, lodges and chalets and caravan holiday insurance cover from Royal and Sun Alliance Insuranceplc.
The company provides extensive cover for all sorts of holiday homes and personal needs.
I first heard of this company when the insurance on my caravan was due for renewal.
When I first purchased my caravan, the site owners had recommended a company and we had taken out insurance with them the previous year for £213.96. This company had sent us a renewal quote of £254.16. At the same time I had a letter from the caravan park telling us of Leisuredays. Before I could do anything I was contacted by Leisuredays to tell me about the services they could offer and gave me a quote of £134.75. Obviously a lot cheaper!
They then sent me a brochure outlining all that we had ...
Advantages: They seemed like a good deal. Disadvantages: When I tried to change the car in cover, they pumped up the insurance group, and the price
To start, I will set the scene,

This was my first ever insurance,

£1,200 on a group 3 car! - 1.2 Fait Punto
It all went through, they where very happy to take my money, no finance, I had the cash, so I paid in one.
My car, as most first cars, was cheap, nasty, Failed the MOT, so I need to change it, I got a 1.3 ford fiesta, and that's where all the trouble started, I'd been driving for approx 6 months then, the fiesta was group 4 insurance, so I thought, or at least was to every other company, including parkers guide.

Advantages: Huge Range Of Services, Value For Money, Great Service Disadvantages: None At All
because they have to be and I have to say for an insurance company this appears to be quite a rare occurrence.
As far as their car insurance goes they are definitely worth getting a quote from, and if you find that they are around the cheapest then consider the service you will receive as well because not many companies provide the level of service they do.
As well as car insurance they also provide other types of cover for your car, this includes breakdown cover, specific European breakdown cover, loans and specific car buying loans via one of their other websites www.jamjar.com which have quite competitive rates.
Other than cover for your car Direct Line can be a one stop finance company if you want them to be. They now offer all sorts of finance and insurance packages.
