Located in an ancient Whataburger building at the apex of the Pace/Palafox split, Direct is an insurance company that I'd never heard of, so I stopped in to get a quote.
It was pretty busy and the wait was about 15 minutes, but the quote was pretty quick. Said quote was laughably high...almost double my GEICO policy. But hey, it never hurts to check.
Pleasant and personable staff. I got the impression, by viewing the dozen or so Direct current customers that rolled up before, during, and as I was leaving, that the company caters to people that have poor driving records and can't obtain policies from better-known, national companies. Direct may be a national company, but I had certainly never heard of them.
I left the place and drove up to the GEICO office on 9 Mile and renewed my policy. But still, if you have no other options, these folks are nice. read more
