What was your first insurance quote

Indestructable

What did ye guys pay when you got your very first insurance on your own, who was it with and what car did ye get insured on?

I got a quote for 1500 TPFT on a 00 SEAT Ibiza which I think is fair enough. Just looking for some sort of comparison.

Going by these quotes it would seem mine is pretty close to the mark. I got quoted for a 00 1.25l Fiesta and it was 400 more. I'd love to buy the Fiesta but I think I may stick with the Ibiza, cheaper insurance and tax. A pity, them Fiesta's are lovely little things.

That's a great price ye got there! Being that little bit older might have helped.

Very steep

Going show my age here but back in 1998 my insurance on a Fiesta 1.1L full comp was £1300 punts from memory,My mate who got his licence about 18/19 I think paid over £2500 on a ford 1.3L.
Last year a certain big insurance company wanted just under 1k for full comp on a car only worth about 1k,I asked the girl was I subsidizing them sponsoring a certain sports stadium in D4.:p
This year some companies wanted €900 not including the extras I have on the policy all ready,And I have held a full NCB since 98.

£8,250 back in 2002 on a friends toyota corolla with Quinn direct. Cheapest quote was just over 6k that time. 23 on a Provisional licence. The person actually laughed when she got the quote and said to me, i dont think your going to want this...

I even sent a letter to dept of environment (was told they were the relevant dept at time) about it....was mad

quoted €7,000 for a '99 BMW 316 auto
ended up getting a skoda fabia with quotes around €1000-€1200.
Phoned around and "Negotiated" and got it down to €830
Ended up in axa's office ready to play and the agent found another discount (or made a mistake) and knocked it down to €750.

Do the leg work and you can maybe get a reasonable quote. But the insurers know they have you over a barrel so they will gouge you as best they can.

My first quote on my first car ('01 Puma 1.7) @ 30yo was €1900, fully comp with named driver!
Rang around, got a few that refused outright (take a bow Tesco, Chill), and eventually ended up with AA for €700, delighted.

Last year's renewal was €178 MORE (€505 - €683) than the year before, I told 'em to go jump, got fully comp with all the bells and whistles (named driver, full no claims protection, drive other cars) for €499 from Chill (Axa). When I phoned AA to tell them I was off, they magically found a deal for €440. Dirtbags, so I stuck to my principles and told them they shouldn't have been such greedy gits. My principles, it turns out, are worth at least €59.
