Britton Insurance?

PowerHouseDan

Got a Quote today for 850 Euro for Insurance I am 20, Which i find good i pay 1100 With Hib at the moment, Anyone have any experience with them?

Ernie Ball

I use them. Customer service leaves something to be desired but the quote was the best I got.

PowerHouseDan

Do they cover driving other cars and windscreen cover etc?

Yes so long as you've got a full licence...sweet

PowerHouseDan

Yeah Cause i was informed yesterday that i was only covered in driving other cars with hib if the car is 1.6l or under Cause of the ignition course yet i was told it was any litre car last year..........Thats the job so 850 Euro How bad...

Yea I got a quote off Brittion for €2750 based on M/18/Prov with no NCB on a 1L its cheap in todays market the closest was Quinn Direct €3200.

seamus

Gave me a good quote of €1500 comp on a 1.2 (I've no NCB )
Which I'll probably go with, give me a years or two's NCB then see what the other insurers think.

powerhousedan could you please tell me more details on that quote as thats very cheap i think.please pm me if you donot wish to disclose details on the thread.i did ask them before but they were more expensive but i will check them out again

I am 20 Have Full lisen for almost 3 Years 1 Yrs Ncb with Hib and Almost 2 Years UNder the Father, Quote for a 1.2 Polo,

PowerHouseDan

The Full lis for almost 3 Year is why my quote is cheap aswell at 1year under my own name, which is only costing just over 1k.

I think you are wrong there, at least I hope you are because I am insured with Hibernian & regularly drive cars >1.6ltr.
I did ring Hibernian when I first got my policy to make sure cause I could barely believe my luck at 20 being allowed to drive fast cars (TPF&T)
Anyway, maybe they have changed their policy since then, worth givin them a call to make sure.

What are the contact details for them?

Dan, is that quote TPF&T or Comp? (And I also see you live in Cork, makes a big difference )

PowerHouseDan

Yup Cork i am, With Regards to the 1.6< i rang to make sure i was insured to drive a friends car she said is it 1.6 or under and i said why and she said cause you did the ignition you are only covered 1.6 and under i was told different when i paid.

Decided I'd go with Hibernian/Tesco despite a few hundred euro difference. 3 different prices within 48 hours, and a complete lie made me think that it's not worth going with Britton. I'd prefer not to make "allegations" publicly, but PM me and I can telll you why.

There quoting me E1000 more than my cheapest quote. They dont even have my exact model of car. :rolleyes:

Any quotes I've gotten through Brittons recently have been through XS Direct - in other words your policy excess is 4 grand rather that the normal €250 or so...

Would check this out before I splash the cash...

3 different prices within 48 hours

Have to agree here, they don't seem very on the ball. Certainly as far as insuring 'performance cars' I don't think they are any good at all, and every quote I had was more expensive than others...

I have got my insurance via Britton for the last 4 years. They are actual Brokers. They get you insured with other companies not themselves. They will beat most quotes. I was with Coyle Hamilton last year and this year I am with St. Pauls. Both via Britton Insurance. I found their Customer Service very good.

I Take it you all have a full Driveing Lnc because if you are 20 & got €850 quote with a provid one thats farfecthed Quinn have been the cheapest for younger drivers
