Direct Line are offering 52 days free cover, great. Offer ends end of this month, bad, as my insurance isn't up until october.
I can understand being excluded on offers based on ncd, or my age, or even points but by when I last bought insurance? Surely this should be something
they have to run for 12 months.. Who would I go to about this as I feel it's somewhat of a con seeing as (theoretically) running an offer for 3
months excludes 75% of the population on the basis of timing, I mean it's not like I can cancel one to get the other and save money
I cant understand it either. Its not just Direct line but most ins companys do offers like that but they only last for a month or two
It's the same at the pub down the road - the sign says `free beer tomorrow` - but I cant get there tomorrow 
Just a thought - can you get insured with Direct line , and have it start in October ?
I think the latest you can have it start is in 30 days.
Or its 52 free days based on the 12 month price.
ie its a discount worth 52 day free if you take out a years insurance.
Be assured they WONT let you have 52 free days without paying, and then let you go.
Its a plain and simple sales hook.
It's not a con. They are offering a discount under certain conditions which you can't meet (or don't want to ). Don't see where the beef is.
cancel your current insurance!! take out the new one job done
i took a policy out with norwich union (now avista) in february, in may i changed jobs and no longer needed transport so called them and cancelled all
they charged was £20 admin costs

I'm sure they'll have some other similar offer come October
