Just to clarify. If the claim for the named driver you're referring went through your policy, it's your claim, not theirs

Magic ]=)

Gender: Male
Age: 36
Car: 07 Lexus IS250 2.5l
NCD: 11 years
Licence: 11 years
Points: None
Claims: None (named driver claim on her own policy)
Renewal: €850 With Aviva

Wife's renewal from Aviva €389 - 07 Honda Civic 1.3l

I always buy fully comprehensive policy with bonus protection, breakdown assistance etc.

Wife as named driver with own claim, quotes without claim are in my name only.
123.ie €1200
Liberty €964 (+claim)
Chill €900 (+claim)
FBD €850
Aviva dropped to €808 (+claim)
BOI €781
AIG €682 (+claim)
Post insurance €642 (it would be €545 with named driver without the claim)

Liberty have quoted me almost €1200.

Add another driver.

Liberty seem to want younger.

They are constantly changing prices across the board in all companies.

I just did a new quote online with BOI, they won't quote through their online system.

You could try calling their sales dept and going through the process as a new customer. Unlikely to work, but you never know. If they miraculously came back with €1000 quote you'd probably jump for joy!
If you don't have someone else on the policy, try to do that. It was the major difference for me.

I'm with BoI as well. My renewal came in at €480 on an 06 320d. Rang them and they wouldn't budge an inch, unless I wanted to lose NCB protection.
Asked them if adding a family member would cut it down any? He tried it, but made no difference to the price.

So I went back on their site and did up a quote as a new customer and added someone on the policy. Exact same details as my renewal otherwise.
€360! So now I'm letting my current policy lapse and taking up a new one with this price.

Might be worth trying that. Very different situation with a 7'er but if it knocked anything of that price for you, it would worth it.

My wife is a new driver, just passed with no previous experience.

Was trying to get a quote for. 1L Yaris. 2012

All companies and brokers were quoting around 2k.

Gave kennco a phone and they quoted us 1400, 600 cheaper than anyone else, guy said the fact she took the compulsory 12 lessons helped a lot. Not sure how given everyone has to complete them.

Because those that have yet to do so or are in the middle of them can still drive accompanied so that's what he meant.

I see in the Indo today it's reported that we will all be paying another 2% levy from January.

Yep, to cover possible insolvency of insurers. For those who think an Irish government should provide no fault state insurance, this is the reason why they haven't touched it. They know there is no money to be made and have passed on the risk to the people by further taxation. The system needs gutting from top to bottom (insurers, legal profession, medical profession and awards)

bigboss1986

Wife's renewal came in few days ago:

Megane 2013 1.5 diesel, 32y old ,full NCB, 0 points,licence 5y +++,me as as named driver 3 points.

Last year 770 with Post Insurance(AIG).
This year 880+ 50 euro(!!!)renewal fee(AIG).Pay monthly 10x94e +50e renewal fee.
Fully comp,windscreen,brakedown,driving other cars,bonus protection.

Went with ALLIANZ as I have policy with them.Got multi policy bonus with same extras for 577e .Paid in full as it was cheaper by 47e than pay monthly

Other quotes with same extras and 2 drivers
AXA 910
FBD 1125
DEVIL 999
123.ie 874
Zurich 741
Liberty 1541(WTF????)
25+ was cheapest 541 but to much hassle with them to save 30e.

Voodoomelon

Massive difference with a 4.0l though, its a huge jump in insurance terms. Everyone else is €1900+.

Speeding would be 3 points if it was recent. Be careful declaring this when getting quotes. Shouldn't make much difference, but better get it right

Just got my "renewal invitation"

20-- years license (will elaborate)
Full NCB (6+ years)
TPFT - 982 Euro with AA

My license is about to expire anyway, I'll be renewing and therefore getting an Irish license - that alone will bring the premium down to ~500 Euro (ironically, the AA called me while I was typing this and we discussed it). Regardless of the silly ruling that there was about it a couple of years ago, insurance companies taking the absolute p1ss and skinning EU drivers alive is a disgrace.

Ended up renewing with the AA (Allianz underwriter) for 820, same exact cover as last year. Couldn't replace my license in time as dates are illegible (paper license from the late '90s with ballpoint-pen written dates, brilliant piece of engineering!) and require a certificate, so renewed with the EU license still.

Have tried quotes from Aviva, Axa, Allianz, AIG, Liberty, FBD and all of them coming in somewhere between €650 and €900. 123.ie returned a quote of €445 by adding a family member to the policy. Will call BoI and see if I can get them to match that, don't ask don't get. But can't complain with sub €500 nowadays on an "old" car.
