right im 18, i have a full license for a year and ive got named driver experience on 2 cars (1 year running simultaneously, one being 2.5 litre TD, the other 3.5 V6 Petrol) and i want to know whats the most lenient insurance company ? , i hate small cars and dont want anything smaller than a 1.8 but im looking around the 2 litre mark, any insurers out there who wont mind quoting me ? ill even except a ridiculous quote like 4 grand, just need a quote instead of a 'no'

Must places will qoute you if you ring them.

try Hibernian, they would be your best bet.

Just keep ringing quinn direct, they will give u a different quote every time. Then just take the lowest.

Eric Cartman · 23-09-2008 6:56pm

cheers, no websites will quote me anything over 1500cc

theres no good saloons/estates/4x4's in that bracket

Are you in college? AXA do student insurance that is really good. Not sure if they have an engine limit though.

Try a good motor broker. You are out of the "normal" market.

Eric Cartman · 23-09-2008 7:09pm

cheers henry, im well aware of that, just because i dont want a clio or a civic i get penalised

try insure.ie there a broker called Mike murphy based in sandyford inst park. break out the yellow pages and just ring about.

You could take a look at a Toyota Glanza's

i hope that was a joke bikki , its not the engine size, its the actual car size, but a big car nd small engine dont match up

Quinn will usually quote *anything* over the phone, otherwise there is always XSDirect...

1.4 Jetta is big enough ?
What about a 1.9 Diesel .. much easier to get quotes on

At the end of the day ur 18 and have only been named on some body elses policy for a year. Most insurance company's will ignore that anyway. If u dont want made insurance ur looking at something not much bigger than a 1.3 :rolleyes:

1.6 Toyota Carina FTW.

Big, good power, cheap, hundreds of taxi drivers cant be wrong

Get a small car, insure it, keep it for 2-3 months, buy something bigger and take the hit on renewal.
