Wonderer the same myself, im with BOI.

axa.ie no quote
last year with a broker it was too much and not going with them again unless they can offer a better quote , but still not looking to get another car as this one is grand, yet its depressing that despite having no claims and a low mileage 1 litre car, cannot seem to get a decent quote.

31 years old
10 years full EU license
9 years NCB from Ireland
07 1.4 Citroen 88 bhp
The best i could get was 805 eur comprehensive from Allianz, TPFT from other companies are about the same price.
For an Irish license they would quote me 500-600 for similar NCB.
Keep in mind all price-segregation based on Irish / EU license is completely illegal. I am a lawyer, myself, will file a case against several of the more obvious law-breaking insurers like 123, AXA and others. Hopefully will see some money off it.

Very bad lawyer it seems

The insurer cannot validate your penalty points if you don't have Irish license - and as such you pose different risk. If you live here, just get Irish license.

grogi, there is something called Unified EU driving history database, there is one for vehicles, too. Every self-respectable insurance company files for access to it. Out of the ones in Ireland, only the 2-3 biggest international ones do, the ****tier local small time insurance companies do not, cause they don't have the money and/or the legislative know-how to do it. So this database gives any insurance company access to any traffic violation recorded on the territory of any green-card agreement member state (all the EU + UK + most of North America + a few countries in the Middle East). So that dumb-ass excuse with "we don't know your driving history, cause you are on an EU license" is just pure bs.
Besides, any driver also has a NCB certificate, to go with the driving license. So what? The smaller Irish companies do not even recognize that NCB cert or what? My last one is issued by one of the top insurance companies in the world and has 9 years on it. But some irish companies simply decide to ignore it for profit.
So with this certificate I managed to get an insurance from a German insurance company for my Irish plated car, the best deal I got outside Ireland for insurance was a little over 200 euro for TPFT, so I bought that one, as it is much cheaper than the 800 euro by most Irish companies.

In addition, charging different prices based on where the license was issued in the EU is against all EU regulations and is a perfect reason to file a case with the EU Ombudsman.

False, traffic violations on both Irish and other EU driving licenses are recorded and any insurance company can look them up, same applies to the police.

In order to comply with anti-price discrimination EU laws, the drop-down menu for "what driving license do you have" should have the options: EU / non-EU prior to the Brexit and EU / UK / Other after the Brexit. Everything else is just a joke, that's easily fine-able.

If you take out your driving license and look closely, you will see it is a standard-issue EU driving license, same as every other EU license issued in the EU over the last decade or more. Unless you are 70+ and your last issued old Irish paper license is without an expiry date.

Licence not license, it's written on the legal ones...:rolleyes:

Just an update. Renewed with Aviva for €310. Got a further discount for having my health insurance with Irish Life (formally Aviva Health)

It goes to prove that Aviva have no problem with the actual car if it is over 11 years old. They have issue with people looking to insure an older car with them for the first time. It's a fraud indicator

I have owned my 98 Astra 11 years, no points, max NCB, never any accidents, driving 30 years,
Aviva wont quote me, i must be a fraud indicator!

Your circumstances must do. Like I say, they appear to offer reasonable premiums to owners of older cars if they are currently with them
