Best Insurance Company

geezer.ryan

I'm looking to get insured on my new motor, I'm a first time driver, and now own an opel corsa 1.0 99. I was quoted something like €2,000 from QuinnDirect, just wondering what peoples experiences with insurance companies are and what was the best quotation you received and from which company.

try www.bestquote.ie

AFAIK quinn are the only people who will insure a driver with no expierence.

My first time insurance was with quinn and was about 1750 on a 1.9 TDI.

I found quinn the only ones to quote me online for the cars i wanted, and after jumping through a lot of hoops, i found out they were actually quoting me the cheapest.

So i decided to go with them, and gradually build up a no claims bonus that i will eventually move to another insurer (ones with more bells and whistles etc).

Try AIB car insurance, they are very good and i m very sure u will get cheaper than this. my first car was 1.4 lt and i paid €1,670. 2,000€ is bit over the top or u might even give a go to Tesco Car insurance.

I found Quinn Direct to be the cheapest. I'm female 22 years old, and no previous driving experience and a provisional and they insured me for only 850euro! It's a 1.2L Petrol. Not bad! A friend of mine same age and with provisional license is insured for 1300 with them. His car is at least a 1.4L petrol..

Axa seem to be the cheapest, €1500 fully comp, €236 up front and €159 monthly installments over nine months I think I will go with them

FBD gave me fully comp and all the extras (protected NCB, open drive etc.) for 1600 on a 1.6 Golf. That's with 1 yr driving experience and full license 20 yr old male.
Not too shabby :cool:

Between haphazard websites and wildly differing prices, the whole insurance thing is a minefield, and very frustrating IMO.

Here are some quotes I got, which may hopefully help others in considering who to check out for quotes.

FBD - 1300 euro (TPFT) or 1200 (TP)
^ That's a "quick quote". When I tried to get a full quote.... the website form didn't work.

Hibernian quoted me 1235 euro (TPFT)

Bestquote.ie is a real pain to use if your particular car isn't in their list. Mine wasn't on their list, so in order to proceed, I had to choose the nearest quivilent car to my own.
The best of their quotes was 1355 euro (TPFT)

Quinns website was also a pain because my car isn't in their list and I had to choose the nearest equivilent >:(
Anyway, in the end, the quote was 2 grand. (TPFT)

AXA quoted me... OVER TWO GRAND! (TPFT)

......25plus.ie quoted me.... THREE GRAND! (TPFT)
The form on the AA website wasn't working for me.

Womoma,
At this stage i think you should know not to bump threads that are a year and a half old. The info in it may not be correct as things have changed a lot in the last 2 years. Start a new one if you wish.
Thanks.
