    I'm 40... Full clean license ... No points nothing.. No claims other than glass been insured on my own since I was 21.
    Driving a 1.9diesel car but insurance seems to be on the up... 550 this year they are looking for.
    Does anyone know who is a good competitive insurance company for my age bracket.
    It's a ball ache ringing around... Maybe someone in similar position can point me in the right direction...
    Marty.

    Prepare for some ball aching I'm afraid.

    Alternatively get a broker do it for you.

    550 is not bad.
    I drive a 2 litre petrol and got a renewal of 900+, got them down to about 650 when I rang them

    When i got my renewal price last month of 900+ i did some ringing around and the best i got was 540 from the AA. Same details as you except i'm a few years older and the car is a 2l diesel.

    Try blue insurance - same as yourself with 20 years driving experience no points and a 1.6Diesel I got a 2 year premium for €620 - € 310 per annum - fully comp with bonus protection, breakdown, windscreen, etc. Couldn't beat it.

    Don't ring around. Just get a load of different quotes online

    My insurance with 123.ie is €331.
    ( 43 + never any claims, 15+ years of driving)
    When they sent the renewal notice they tried bumping it up to €450.
    But I just re-entered my exact same details into their web site for a new quote, and got €331 for this year.

    Depends on your location as well.
    I moved from Lucan to Drogheda, and they added another €90 or so on when I notified them of the change of address.
