Pretty helpful people, generally seem to know how to get the lowest quote whatever your mods (as long as they're not too excessive), but the value of mods won't be covered.

Recent 3rd party claim while driving wife's car.  Very efficient and no forms.  They tried to change their minds after two weeks and make me claim on wife's insurance, but they backed down when my wife made an angry phone call!

Also made a claim against a third party.  If I'd used the DL preferred repairer I wouldn't have had to pay anything, and I think it would have been processed very efficiently.  But I decided to buck the system and insist on a particular garage.  You then have to pay the garage for the repair and claim the money back from DL... this took several letters, phone calls and faxes.

Any General Comments
For me, DL have been easily the cheapest for many years.

If you need repairs, consider using the DL preferred repairer.  I insisted on using an Alfa garage (previous car), only to find the Alfa dealer farms it out to a 3rd party... and then found he was a clown!  I might as well have taken a chance on the DL repairer!

have used Bell Direct in a previous policy for a Mk1 and had superb service. The day after the accident, the car was taken on the back of a truck, the inspection was done via Internet and the cheque for the claim was in my hand by th end of the week. Excellent service. Only reason I changed from them after this was because Elephant undercut the price by £50. Now, Elephant are more expensive than Bell, so gone back to them. Would highly recommend them.
