    Most financial websites dont have "Site Design by ?????????" on the bottom of them

    New sites don't get google sitelinks either though, so they're unlikely to be a fly-by-night. Their blog would /suggest/ they've been around at least 2 years. That said, I've never heard of 'em.

    I've gotten quotes from them in the past (for my hubby, I'm too young :p) and TBH, they weren't all that competitive. I got better ones from Glennon brokers, and the AA.

    Mrs. K got a great quote off them a few years ago & renewed again last year. She had a minor scrape & the other driver sent on a crazy repair estimate which we had to forward to the insurer.
    They dealt with it without issue.
    So yep, a good insurer in my experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,260 ✭✭✭mightybashful


    I had a policy with them for a year two or three years ago.
    Can't say wether they were good or bad because I had no reason
    to contact them. But the renewal was on the steep side.
    My policy had risen by over €100. When I rang them they
    Knocked €50 off straight away. Didn't bother with it though
    as I got cheaper elsewhere.
    One thing about them tho thats just came back to me -
    should you need to ring them, you're hit with a charge.
    Iirc could have been €20 a pop. Everything had to be
    done online. Not sure if they still do this but it was clearly
    flagged in the website.

    I got my insurance with them. It was over 400 euro cheaper than my renewal quote. I have had no reason to deal with them yet but all seems good so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭talkin


    So hard to find decent car insurance :(

    agreed...shower of knackers...they are the Ryanair of car insurance..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 385 ✭✭Macca3000


    Was with them for last 2 years. Never had reason to deal with them thankfully. They were the cheapest around. However this year my renewal jumped €105. I rang them and asked them to explain. The girl said she would look into it and get back to me. And I never heard from them again.

    Decided to look around and ended up with FBD. €40 cheaper than last year and €145 cheaper than my renewal qoute from 25plus this year :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭thirtythirty


    I'm insured with 25plus.ie

    They were several hundred euro cheaper than anyone when I had my RX 8, and were €50 cheaper than anyone else this year on a 1.8

    Plus there's lots of benefits like free roadside assistance, windscreen cover etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭talkin

    Try Glennon or else Sheridan Insurance (depending on where you live) but when I left 25.ie that's where I got better quotes from


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭talkin


    had a claim 3 years ago so thats affecting my options!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭mailforkev


    I'm doing the rounds today for my own renewal, Zurich's renewal quote wasn't very friendly.

    I have made around 10 calls so far. I'll get on to the brokers next.

    So far FBD are looking like the best, Allianz the worst at 50% more expensive.

    I would have thought "wouldn't touch them with a bargepole" also implied "didn't touch them with a bargepole".

    No, I have never dealt with Quinn. I can read.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭talkin


    To go back to Quinn?-after three years. Or move to 25plus.ie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭BronsonTB
