Very good quote all things considered...

Selik

I got a quote for my (just purchased) 1993 1.4 VW Golf for €4693.00 thirp party only off Pat Britton Insurance Brokers in Donegal. I have to say, it's not bad when you consider the following:

I'm 21, just got my 2nd Prov and I have practically no 'ahem' official driving record to speak of! I was insured before for 3 months on a 1.3 Civic but that was only because I was an employee of the company at the time! What do all you guys think? I have to say, I was expecting a quote of at least €6000.00 considering those goons at QD outdid themselves yet again with a ridiculous quote of €8145.35!!!!!! :mad:

I can just about afford this insurance and if it means I can pass my test and get a 1year NCB I'll be reasonably happy. I to anyone who is having serious trouble getting a quote to try Brittons as they seem to specialise in young drivers without taking the piss...ala Quinn Direct, 123.ie etc

Their no is (074) 9721394 or you can get a quote online @ http://www.brittoninsurance.com/

did you get a quote of first ireland at all?

Just incase they might be cheaper.(they where cheaper for me than quinn)

Selik

First Ireland? Never heard of them I'm afraid!

Well it's indicative of the fact that we are becoming accustomed to ridiculously high premiums, that you find this a good quote. 'Cos IMO it's not, whatever way you look at it, nearly €5000 for cover in a small car, without theft cover !!, ridiculous.

This post maybe better off in the MIJAG board by the way ?

Good luck with the car though.

Are you taking the mick. It's an horendous quote. Even if it was fully comp it's rediculous. It's only a 1.4 litre engine. It's hard to believe that anyone could think that was a good quote. Have you tried Hibernian? They are quoting now for under 25's.

We are sorry but no insurers were prepared to quote on-line based on the details you have supplied

I rang Hibernian and they will only quote under 25s on a Prov with a 4 years NCB! In other words... Not me!

Crap. There's always something isn't there

Selik

Just got a quote off Mike Murphy Insurances for €4700 Third Party Fire & Theft! Methinks I'll be going for that instead!



Funny how it is when you mention that you've got another quote they always put you on hold for a couple of minutes and then somehow manage to beat it by a few €€€!!!
