Awesome. Somewhere near 6k for a 00 punto 1.2 (Learner permit) fully comp.

It's 2.5k with quinn.

Under your own name?
Are you 17 or something?
Has the car been modified?

That's an outrageous quote.

Ive been insured through quoteme.ie for the last 3years and found them to be fine, i had no probs with them.... Up untill 4weeks ago that is...

They have to be the most un organised bunch of gangsters i have ever come across... Each time you get on the phone to them you are have to talk to a different person who in turn tells you something completly different to the last.
They are trying to screw me left right and centre when i have done nothing wrong...
In particular there is <SNIP> who has to be the worst... She really is trying to drive me around the bloody bend :mad:

racso1975 · 21-10-2008 11:54am

My experience of quotes:

33 male full ncb 2 points citroen xsara 2.0 diesel 2001 average 20k a year

All quotes for fully comp with wifey on policy
Renewal quote: 380 with britton insurances when i got a quote off website 323 euro

123.ie 375

insure.ie 385

Chill.ie 280

quoteme.ie 708 (WTF)

Will up date as i get more quotes

IsThatSo? · 21-10-2008 5:55pm

I went through chill.ie after reading about it here a few weeks back and they came in with 200 less than the quote from my other broker. I found this to be the cheapest of all the websites I tried, but I hadn't tried a few listed in this thread like quoteme or quoteline. I am happy with my quote though, near enough halved my insurance cost. I will try them for my house insurance when its due in December

Only thing I found though was that it was hard to get hold of them. I left my contact detailis 3 times and sent one email and never heard back from them. This was while they were sending me emails telling me of their great offers and to ring now etc. I gave them one more shot and luckily got through. Car insurance for €260 is worth a little bit of hassle

The prices mean nothing without details of the excess and bonus protection etc.., of each policy.

Insurance is not all same.

Its a good deal. If you want to look for a cheaper quote I recommend www.quoteme.ie. If its cheaper you can then get the €100 off Payless' quote.

FYI I work for this company, but my whole family were customers before I worked here and found them to be excellent value.

You are way off the mark mate. Im getting quotes of between 350-500 from other websites are yours is coming out at 860 !

Have a word with your boss !

Chill.ie = Disaster!

EDIT; I totally wouldn't go near chill but hey that's me, and people seem to not care what they are getting from their insurance anyway so if you're going to Chill, i just noticed on the back of my Superquinn receipt an add for chill saying €100 off your insurance for all Superquinn customers, now there are t's&c's but my receipt ends before them! It just says quote "superquinn" when applying.
My Advice - get quote first and then ring back up with the superquinn bit....

fred432 · 21-10-2008 9:16pm

i had bit of a bang 3 years back so my quotes were up. 795 with a full 2 years no claims. Eventually got a quote from broker from a company called prestige for 460 euro full comp

21-10-2008 10:05pm

I decided to get a quote from chill.ie there seeing as everyone else is getting apparently great deals

Female
26
Full License
2 Litre Auto Volvo S60
4 Years no claims + named exp

Eagle Star - €360
Chill - €680

no use to me anyway

IsThatSo? · 21-10-2008 10:16pm

just got my proposal form in from Chill, there are more errors on it than I have had cups of coffee this last week :mad: Some of the questions she didn't even ask me, cos I know I would have told her its a seven seater car, not a 5 seater.............I mean really

They got the mileage wrong also, and all they had to do was copy it from my online application!! I will have several alterations to send back. It will be interesting to see if this changes the quote I got.

heffo9 · 21-10-2008 10:23pm

FBD quoted me €640 in September after being with them for 2 years, my policy cost me €430 last year and €500 year before.
Anyway after digging and ringing around for a better quote, my wife found this crowd in Donegal, very competitive and resellers for Zurich, ended up costing me €299 for exact same policy.

Practically identical to my situation a few weeks ago. €640 also with FBD and got it for €302 with Brittons.

There are changes being made to the website at the moment. The other website www.quoteline.ie should be better. If anyone rings up Im sure the quote would be cheaper.
I accept many of the quotes recently on quoteme are too expensive recently.

crazzzzy · 22-10-2008 4:08pm

Heard alot of ppl changin 4rm fbd coz their insurance much dearer dis yr. i woz wid fbd but my insurance was 100 more than lst yr (no accident/penalty pts). Axa gave me good quote & had deal wid local credit union....if u pay by credit union chq there was €50 off.

chump · 27-10-2008 7:25pm

I got a renewal quote from quinn recently. I expected it to be €1000 or thereabouts.

It is €600.

3rd party
1.6 car
26yrs old
1yr NCB
Full license

I've checked one or two websites and they quoted me much higher - I usually research things to bejaysus before throwing my cash at anything, but in this case I'm tempted to just give quinn my business as I don't think all the searching in the world will find me anything cheaper. Agreed?

White_Feather · 27-10-2008 7:33pm

I go through a crowd called mike murphy insurance brokers. Ive been with them now 4 years. Anyways, I got my quote for 640 fully comp. I rang them and got a new quote for 560
Fully comp,
2005 1.5l
22 year old female
full license

so worth giving them a bell

mastodon · 12-05-2009 3:08pm

i have shopped around and the best quotes for car insurance have been chill.ie i have been with fbd for 8 years and it went up to 800 on a bmw 330d being 36 got it for 550 with chill worth a look !

Definitely worth a shout, they are part of insure.ie aswell. Saving 120 yoyos

Bill-e · 14-05-2009 9:51am

wow! just did a quick quote on chill.ie

Lexus IS250 2006 2500cc
24yold male.
€1,100

I might go with these fellas!

Edit: On further investigation, It would be €1500. The quick quote assumes you have 5 years of named driving... Balls.
