    Hi Guys, just looking for some advice please. Just received my house insurance renewal from Quinn today and I am in 2 minds about renewing with them considering the current situation.
    Any people knowledgeable in the area able to offer me some advice.
    They have increased my premium also by 12.5% for no reason.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I had car insurance with them and changed to another company. To hell with getting insured by a company that might do "tits up".

    Personally if it was me I'd renew, Quinn won't be going under...worse comes to worse there's a Q of companys lining up to buy them.

    Under control of the administrator etc as a private person you will be fine - if you were a commercial entity it would be of more concern.

    Why you would insure with Quinn in the 1st place is a whole other question!

    Unless they are extremely competetive for you move on...

    You'll be fine renewing with Quinn, don't let its competitors "suggest" that it'll not be there for you, it will.
    It'd suit all the other players for you to think different and then charge more with less competition.
    + by renewing, you'll be support thousands of Irish jobs, not a call centre in India.

    Do as you normally would - shop around if you normally do and go with the cheapest. I wouldn't not renew with quinn just because of the current situation.

    Have car insurance and am a member of the AA, and just got a letter in the post today saying they will guarantee to beat my existing quote for home insurance, that came at a good time. Will see what they quote me tomorrow.

    I'm in the same boat as the op. I've been in two minds as whether to renew but think I will go ahead. Did some shopping around and actually couldn't find a cheap price for the same cover. In fact my premium has dropped from last years rate.
