"I am writing to say how pleased I have been with the service given by Insuranceline.gr in my dealings with them in respect of my car insurance. I say this given the problems experienced over a number of years being an English person living in Greece and attempting to obtain suitable car insurance along the lines of English cover and also the difficulties in having to deal in Greek or through inadequate translation facilities and having found that invariably the cover I have requested has not been forthcoming or is a variant of what I have asked."
