Renewing my car insurance is slowly driving me insane

    nononsense.ie will not give me a quote. Every time I try to fill it out some stupid page comes up saying that I violate their conditions somehow (I have an 03 Corsa, 1.2ltr, clean licence, am 23, 1 year no claims bonus... Driving me absolutely bonkers) confused.com won't let me past their first page as I don't have a postcode... all the phonelines say phone between 9 & 6... My exactly daily working hours... We are supposed to live in a hyper convenient age but this is the most extraordinarily and un-necessarily difficult and frustrating thing I've ever had to go through*

    Has anyone got any advice for somebody completely bogged down in this BS?

    *I confess I wouldn't do well in a war.

    Call a broker and have them sort it for you. Simples

    Nononense only quote on cars less than 7 years old online. At least last time I checked, which was in August last year.

    Try insure.ie

    Easy enough to navigate and always gave me quotes handy enough. Could you not ring on your lunch?

    I could be wrong but I thought confused.com were UK? Hence why they are requesting a postcode? I shouldn't think they will provide you with a quote for a Republic of Ireland address if they are UK?...Maybe I'm very wrong though

    confused.com is most definitely UK-only.

    +1 From their website...

    Confused.com is the longest running UK insurance comparison site.

    Yup, UK only. Call a broker, OP. I recommend First Ireland.

    I wasn't charged for using my Laser card, but I pay monthly.
