    Good to see competition, shame about the knockers, are they running scared? Web site looks good from a brief view of it.

    Anyway don't they say that competition is good! I personally wish people would shop around more.

    Maybe this conversation should be continued in the insurance section?

    I had a similar problem to the op! I decided to buy a van just for personal use and got an '03 Berlingo! I got a quote from Quinn online for €1400 which I thought was great (I'm 19 so was expectin atleast €2000). Anyway when I rang the office to just double check everything and to pay, I was told that because of my job they would not insure me on a commercial vehicle :0 I'm a trainee aircraft mechanic! I couldn't understand it!
    Anyway ended up get insurance from FBD, €1950! I was so pissed after getting a quote of €1400!

    could not agree more - 3 of the posters with comments in relation to this site are are from an established company - its simple competition is good for consumers and some people just don't like that

    we won't be knocked we are here to stay and the people who use us to get quotes will be our judge - no one else

    Enough said I'm off to the insurance section

    I know this thread is a bit old now but for those still inquisitive I thought I'd tell you my recent experience.

    I had a policy through a broker that was being renewed for €400. I'm on full Irish licence no penalty points etc. I requested a change in occupation on my proposal documents and was suddenly told policy as being cancelled as company don't cover this occupation (market trader).

    I understand high risk etc but I just thought I would have to pay a higher premium.

    Anyway after some very frustrating Internet searches I came across www.insuremyvan.ie, filled out an online quote request and got a phone call back within half an hour. Lovely chap on the line, explained there is only 1 company who will insure market traders and got me a quote from them (Kennco). Delighted quote was for €426 and happy days I can start up my stall now. Only downside was I had to pay in full as because it's high risk they don't offer credit facility, so no cash left to buy stock for my stall, but at least I know I'm covered for the next 12 months anyway :)

    Thanks for input but resurrected threads never end well so I'll just close it
