Best so far is €722 with Allianz. Fully comp with all the bells and whistles. 123 (current insurer) sent me a renewal notice for €889. Ran an online quote and got it for €750. Surprise, surprise, on follow up call to them, they will match the €750:rolleyes:

AIG - 1152
AIB - 1012
BOI - 735 / 800 for prestige

My policy is underwritten by RSA, but they’re not tied to a single insurance company

olearydc

Age:52
Car type and engine: 2013 Leaf
years driving: 10+
any claims:0
Price and provider:€612 AA

AA charged €498 last year
After seeing a increase of over 20% to €612 -- I said sod this
And looked around
Best quotes being BOI and Zurich
Went back to AA and said I am not renewing and just send on the no claims form
After a bit of this and that
AA went down €150 --approx 20 euro more then the other 2
I am away for a few weeks so did not want to mess around too much

But saved 150 this time and next year will definitly move if not the lowest

Make sense of this for me!

Details: Male, 37, full licence 10+ years, NCB 10+ years, 0 points
Car: 2004 Mondeo 2.0 TDCi

Got my renewal email from 123 which quoted me €811, fully comp, NCB protection, etc. which is about 30 quid cheaper than last year. I've been with them for many years, always found them to be very competitive with a high level of cover, but always go and do the usual shopping around online for other quotes, just in case. Most places coming in around the same price for similar level of cover, so was leaning towards just renewing again with 123.

Had a look through the renewal policy details and I see the vehicle value set at €5000, which is obviously ridiculously overvalued, so I went back on to 123.ie to get a new quote with the car value at €1000. This gave me a quote of €593. Result!

Then, just for the craic, I decided to get another new quote, but using all the same details as from my renewal quote, ie the car valued at €5000. This gave me a quote of €490! :eek:

So getting a new quote using exact same details, with the exact same company, somehow works out the best part of 50% cheaper compared to renewing my current policy. I'm totally baffled

Online quotes ?

Yes, online

You should bump the value up to €20,000 and you might get it cheaper again. When I was calling for quotes for my 2004 Corolla a few years back I was actively encouraged to bump up the value of the car considerably to get a lower premium. When I suggested I was doing the same to a guy doing the same the following year when calling for quotes he snapped the head of me.


The likes of 123.ie are cheap but will fleece you if you are making a change to your policy part way through. Also they definitely wouldn't be the best out there to be dealing with if your making a claim.

7000€ seems to be the magic number for me. Car is a 00 318ci. Tried most of the values, 7000 give me the cheapest premium

They really that bad? Coming in at the cheapest for me this year at 936. Liberty will come to within 30 euro of it after chatting on the phone. Everyone else is coming in at 1100 to 1900.

What do you guys tell the insurance folks if you want them to reduce the price? I got a quote from Liberty that I'm actually happy with, but noticed folks were able to get a cheaper quote when they call the insurance directly.

I had a better quote from another company and asked if they could match it.

Just ask for a better quote. House ins renewal today. Renewal was 345. Spoke to them ,changed nothing and renewed for 292.

Amouar

I'm currently with its4women but my renewal quote didn't arrive yet despite only 21 days left before my policy expires.

I was looking around for quotes and Liberty gave me the best quote. I ringed them and they knocked 50 euros off the price. I'm now happy with the quote but still curious to see its4women's renewal quote. I tried getting a new quote from them and the price was more expensive to what Liberty is offering me. I guess the renewal quote would be the same or renewals are generally cheaper compared to new quotes?
