    Im trying to get a quote, my insurance is due soon. I will have 2years NCB in my own name when i renew.
    Im trying to get quotes off Britton on 1.6Hondas, but it says to ring them, when i change the licence option to FULL instead of Provisional im getting pretty reasonable quotes. Does Britton make you fone automatically if your on a provisional? The amount of crap you have to fill in on their quote yoke is a joke. Takes ages if trying for a few different cars.

    Just wondering if anyone here has gotten a decent quote off Britton on a provisional licence on a relatively decent 1.6 car like civics/integras.
    Cheers.

    They gave me a quote for provisional/no ncb/1.3L car. It looked pretty reasonable but it was conditional on me passing some sort of a test. Quinn Direct were cheaper anyway and I don't have a mileage restriction/test requirement.

    From what I remember, I got cheaper quotes on smaller cars with Britton but cheaper quotes for larger cars with Quinn Direct.

    The thing about the test for me was buried pretty deeply in the small print on the very last page btw. I only noticed it when I started reading in detail the instructions of purchase the quote I was offered.

    Edit: Hmm, can't even find it now, but I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere.

    britton insurance for young drivers mainly quote through hibernian. 1.6 integra is going to have a loading on it same as a gt turbo etc.....they won't quote on these before getting more details. try a 1.6 avensis or something just to see can you get quoted....I'd imagine it'll quote, but you will have to do the provisional ignition test if it's through hibernian

    Its the Ignition test you do..I am insured with them... I am with Hibernian via Britton... they got me a quote 250 euro cheaper than directly with Hib, I already had done the ignition before so it was fine..

    If you ever get "bla bla sorry insufficient info for online quote, call 1890 OVERABARREL", you haven't much hope of a reasonable quote.

    Better question - has anybody ever spoken to a real person at Britton? Tried for a few days last year - no joy!
