Motor Direct throuh Lloyds TSB - johnny
Anybody had a look at MotorDirect via Lloyds Bank website?
Allegedly up to 20% below the rrp - but where do the rrp figures come from? Do they offer good value (in anyones opinion?)

Are you on about the car insurance from them?

If so, I've got a policy through them. Its actually a Devitt Insurance policy.

I got a fair bit of hassle when they mislaid my NCD proof letter. They kept on sending me cover notes and threatening letters, no matter how many times I phoned them. Eventually I got stroppy and threatened to cancel the policy - miracle of miracles it all got sorted out!


It can take a few phone calls to get through to the right department as well.

I don't think I'd use them again, you could try www.egg.com (I will probably use these when its renewal time).

The cars may be cheaper but the trade in amount they offer is naff. They offered me £12,500 for my trade in, the Volvo dealer gave me £18,500 plus a Volvo special offer which gave me another grand or 3 years free servicing, I took the £1000.

If I had no trade in Lloyds price was about £3000 cheaper than the Volvo rrp of £26,000 approx, so not a bad deal. So it pays to shop around.
