    Has anyone dealt with these before? I saw them advertised on a car dealer site and they seem very competitive quote wise - the cheapest by about €100 or so no matter what car.

    They're a broker, not an insurance company. Just check the price and the exact cover against other quotes and if they're cheapest for you then go for it.

    Their quote goes up quite a bit when you want to protect your ncb. Still quite reasonable though.

    Currently insured through them on the family car as they were the cheapest. Won't be renewing through them even if they are the cheapest next time out due to messing about when changing cars during the year e.g lost details of phone conversation and payment details which left me driving unknowingly for few days without any insurance, 3 weeks wait for new cert & disc, silly changeover fees, etc. BTW I ended up changing cars a number of times so had multiple experiences.

    I have been getting my insurance through them for the last 5 years and find them excellent. They were more expensive last renewal but when I went back with a cheaper quote they bettered it.

    Been with them about 6 years now and they were always competitive for me.
    Always bet any prices I came back to them with at renewal time as well.

    With them a few months. No real issues. Was waiting 6 weeks for my insurance cert/disc (but they did send me out a temporary one after 30 days). Got my quote down by 50% (€600 odd - €300 odd) so wasnt really complaining :)

    I used them for a year or two and found them helpful and had no problems with them.
