I was onto vhi about this a few weeks ago. They said that offer had expired at the end of october but it will be starting again in December so give them a call. I cancelled my existing policy and the new one will start from the 1/1/2011. I was paying 197 euro a month but will be paying 110 a month from Jan.
I only found out about this as they knocked at my door. Ring them! Its a huge saving.

i got the best deal by using aviva.

2 adults on the business select + (includes day to day cover)
1 child on a more basic paskage €95 for the year.

total cost is 114 a month. we got on the buisness select + package my asking, its not confined to actual buisness's

logic for cheaper child package was that theres no private kids hospital adn also she'd prefer to be in a public ward with other kids to play with etc.

Are you saying Quinn reduced your premium? does the excess increase as a result?

From his post, they seem to have switched him to a corporate plan equivalent, which is something discussed in this thread.
