    Paid 1500 to be a named driver on my parents' 1.4L when I was 22. Not very good value considering I had showed them proof of having 10 driving lessons and I was restricted to driving 20 miles a week. Got a quote for 1500 on my own car when I was 24, which came down to 750 the next year.

    No. It's more to do with my 220bhp car I think

    Driving a 1.9 when your starting out on a provisional licence is just asking for a large premium

    I paid about 1k for a Renault 5 years ago when premiums were far higher than they are now

    I was paying IRP£2800 on a new 1.2 clio at 18 with a full licence.

    Now paying €500 odd on a 1.8 Xantia. Was paying €600 on a 2.5 Safrane last year.

    First car in my own name was a 1.25l fiesta, and I think the premium was about 1700 when I was 22. That was with 1 year named driving experience. Adding me as a named driver to the policy on my mother's super powerful 3 cylinder 1.0 Corsa at 20/21 cost about €1000 for the year at the time.

    Was insured as provisional driver at age 21 on 1L Yaris for 900 or so.
    Has gone down to around 700 since I got full license.

    Love being a girl.

    I paid €600 for a 1.9L diesel Renault Megavan, full license and 1 years named driving experience.

    Now I have a 406 coupe, paid around 1200 last year, now Quinn have come to the conclusion that since I now have a 2 years NCB and am 2 years older, I should pay an extra €100 on what I paid last year. Seems that a NCB isn't worthy much when your a reckless male under 25. Even if I still had the megavan insurance on it would be 850, so about a 40% increase with a NCB. Seems logical.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Ok, just going by the above, seems I was taken for a ride. €3,600 for a 1L Nissan Micra with Quinn Direct when I was provisional, no experience and 19 years old.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,571 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    €3200 on a 1.2 Polo when I was 18 with hibernian
    Next year switched to AXA and got it for €1800 still on my provisional.

    Full licence now so hoping it will drop a bit more next year...
