    I called Direct Line Insurance last night - got a refund of £10.08 back (due to be returned back to my credit card) but they were unable to explain how they calculated this amount other that I popped your details in and this is the amount of refund you are due.
    Third in this thread to get £10.08 back from Direct Line.
    I'll guess there's not a great calculation behind it.  Not that I would expect a calculation as you don't get a detailed breakdown when you take out the policy anyway.

    i just got a refund of £9.31 for travelling 150 miles between 1/4 and 1/7/20.My policy was £245 with sheillas wheels.Looks like you did 77p better than me.Just shows how good they are to take your money,but a lot less generous at giving you any back.At least i am not the only mug.Was told i should have claimed sooner as a self isolater.
