Over €50 per month. So I'll get over the annoyance when I see it.

Well, Insure and Go have just launched, they'll be all over the place soon enough. Don't think they do songs though.

Can't stand the song myself, and the guy's voice is just so...effeminate. Can I say that?

I have my insurance out with these shower of w4nkers. Some cnut hit my car, I report it to these fools and they knock 3 years off my no claims bonus without a claim being made... I was fairly livid when I got the rediculous renewal quote. Gave them a call and got transferred 3 times, spoke to 4 people before somebody sorted it out.

Terrible customer service. Charge ya for any change you make, but that's listed in their letters, so you cannot complain about that. Nobody seems to be able to deal with a simple question. Retards if you ask me.

If you can afford it, pay the little extra and go with a real insurance company.

Yep. I did and was quoted 280quid for fully comp car insurance. Big difference from the 900+ Quinn quoted me to renew after being with them for 6/7 years. Hope the **** go out of business.

The adds may be annoying but i have two car policies with 123 and they are considerably cheaper than anyone else. My daily driver is a 2.2 petrol and i was getting ridiculous quotes of 1000+ from some companies. It was looking like i was going t have to apy in or around the 550 mark for TPF&T but i got cover with 123 for €315 for fully comp with all the bells and whistles. I have a weekend toy and i have TPF&T cover on it for €260 (i have 7yrs + NCB on both policies) I'll be changing my house insurance to them also when its up as i get a considerable discount as i have both cars with them.

Pet insurance is gas, select cat and in the breed options it lets you select bengal tiger, or leopard.

Just got a quote there from 123 out of curiosity, €470 for comprehensive, no thanks, my last renewal with Axa was €310 and they don't charge me any administration fees or what not. And their customer service is good.

I got car insurance off them a few years ago and it was cheaper than my own by a bit, when the forms came in i found out why!! the excess that you had to pay before they had to put hand in there pockets was something like 5 grand!!

i'd asked for 3rd party but fully comp was same price! why-answer above, they would never have had to pay out as car was only worth about 3 grand!

so i had to cancel as apart from making me road legal it was useless and they got to keep about 150 of my Euro's for nothing the scammers.
