Quinn insurance renewal up....?

Zascar

The insurance policy on my bike (2005 ducati monster 620) is up for renewal. I'm with quinn. It's €479 which is ok, cheaper than last year I think, I've got 2 years ncb.

Question is, am I likely to get a better quote with anyone else or are quinn still the cheapest these days? Are they risky at all with the recent controversy?

Sorry man, but you really won't know until you ring around.

i wouldn't be to worried about whether Quinn are risky or not, all insurance policies are subject to a government levy in case of an insurance company suffering difficulties :0

do a search on PMPA in the 1980's and the government levy applied since then

not risky at all - the only thing that will make them riskey is people not renewing with them.... stick with irish man...

And that quote seems high for 2 years ncb on a monster... did you do the quinn assessment or anything?

Wossack

no harm ringing around anyway - bit of healthy competition and all that. only 4 companies, so not gonna take ya a month of sundays

Yep I did the level 2 assessment. Was hoping it might be lower, what other companies should I call?

Aon are willing to quote me when I pass my test and get a L2 assessment on a Firestorm, that's with one years NCB. Give them a call. Try Adelaide as well but from what I hear they're more expensive than Aon.

I am not a fan of Quinn Insurance and would not insure with them cos I don't trust them not to try and avoid any claims made but that is a seperate issue.

If you are happy to play the roulette of a claim against Quinn then I do not think the recent administration has changed anything at all, if anything they are probably now more stable as they are under the control of the regulator.

If Quinn is cheapest and your only concern is whether they will stay in business to honour your year's policy or settle your claim - do not worry about it.

Hahahaha a quick quote on http://www.aonbikecare.ie gives me a quote on €1,318!!! I think I got a cheaper price when I was on a provisional with no no-claims!

Probably better off calling, online quotes can be a bit hit and miss.

oh, and i'm fully comp with quinn.... i love quinn.......:o

RosieJoe

Was the €479 a renewal quote in a letter? Or did you ring them to see what it would cost?

If it was a quote through the post, ring them to see if they can drop the price further, usually they can so it is worth the call.

Wossack

ha, 2.2k from the Aon calc... 450 from adelaide

cantdecide

I was on €385 fully comp with quinn this year. I cancelled after less than a month when I got the blackbird and went to adelaide for €500 fully comp but with FC driving of other bikes and a multi-bike policy.

Where do you get that BS from?

Their claims handling is exemplary, they've got one of the fastest turn arounds in the business.

Third party they do, I have heard differently when your trying to claim comprehensive. They sit on it for a long time. Might have just been a few negative experiances though.

I had similar quotes form Carol Nash and Aon when trying to insure this year. 600-700 from Quinn and adeliade, but 2.7k and 1.8 from Carol Nash and Aon. Seems they don't want any bikers under 30 without 6+ years of NCB.

Their claim handelers are on commission relating to the lenght of time a claim is settled - they are really fast and sorting things out
