Direct Line was launched in 1985 in the United Kingdom, revolutionizing the insurance industry by pioneering the concept of selling car insurance directly to consumers over the telephone rather than through traditional insurance brokers. Founded by Peter Wood and backed by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), it quickly grew into one of the most recognizable direct-to-consumer financial brands before eventually becoming an independent public company and later joining Aviva.
