Set up in the early 1980s, Auto Direct Insurance was among the first insurance companies to offer their insurance policies over the telephone. It's fair to say that some insurance brands make it abundantly obvious what they're setting out to achieve. This is certainly the case with Auto Direct Insurance. Their aim is simply to supply their customers with the cheapest quotes possible - backed up by their price promise guarantee.
Auto Direct Insurance make a bold statement to customers in that if you buy an Auto Direct Insurance policy and find an equivalent policy for cheaper (and can supply them with written proof within two days), they'll refund your policy in full - assuming you haven't made a claim on your Auto Direct Insurance policy in those two days.
Along with the rest of the market, Auto Direct Insurance has evolved over the years to bring more of their business and services online. Not only that, but the Auto Direct Insurance service has expanded its product range beyond the realms of motor insurance. Today, the porfolio of insurance products offered by the Auto Direct Insurance brand also extends to travel insurance, home insurance and commercial vehicle insurance.
As well as keeping a strong focus on their customer service levels, Auto Direct Insurance have assembled a competitive panel of insurers to make their broker service as competitive as possible. Acting as an insurance broker, Auto Direct Insurance will query each insurer or underwriter on their panel when you request a quote from them. Auto Direct Insurance will then return with the best option (with the aim of finding you the cheapest policy) from their panel.
Auto Direct Insurance and Auto Direct Car Insurance are in actual fact trading names of UKFIS Limited - aka Fortis Insurance. The tie up with Fortis means that Done Deal (the budget car insurance brand) and Cover Direct (the third party insurance technology specilist) are sister brands to Auto Direct Insurance. Forits is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) as are all of the insurance companies you will see on our comparison tools.
