I have just made a claim through Acasta on my previous policy and anticipate the settlement payment in the next few days. The whole process was fairly straightforward.

I have used Direct Gap several times. The website is very clear and easy to use. The price is competitive. I have never had to claim so I can't comment on that aspect.

The price was competitive but the main reasons for taking this insurance was the free transfer of policy to another car and it was the only one to offer a 5 year policy
