Great offers, but I can't
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 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

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.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

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.

This is my point, I can understand not meeting conditions like I'm not over 50, or I have points on my licence, or even that I'm not a
woman, but to not meet criteria on the basis of what time of year I bought my car? Not really fair is it?
