Price and provider:

Mine go as below

Age:18
Car: 2006 mini cooper S 1.6 172bhp
Years driving: year and a half

Pretty reasonable price considering claim and high performance I think

Do you really need open driving, if your son is named on the policy? You're paying for that and narrowing the amount of alternative quotes you can get

Thanks,
but open driven is less than €30 and is handy when my daughter comes on holidays from Scotland, some quotes I got were well up in the €900's so €630 is a great improvement

3rd year now with Axa ( having son named) as previous insurer An Post ( possibly 18 years with them) became far too expensive.

€630

Going with them again also have additional multi policy with them.

Hi ya,

I did as it originally came in at €860 so not too bad at €630, thank you.

It still astounds me of the spread I get in quotes each year

Full licence 11 years

@axa €1,150
123.ie via RSA €540.

Is there any companies giving 15% discount considering cars traffic has been off the road for close to a month now. There is a lot less accidents and fatalities , its time for the insurance companies to pay it back.

I would be shocked if she got it any cheaper that that, certainly notably cheaper. As a guy who I was getting a quote from a couple of years back told me that €400 was the new €300 for car insurance. That was a renewal quote I got elsewhere, not from him - he pretty told me to take that other quote and their hand of with it. If thats the case then €360 must be the new €260 from a few years back - surely talking the minimum quote.

As I recall Liberty were actually the most expensive for me at my renewal back in February and I tried pretty much all companies and brokers. They were the cheapest on my home insurance renewal after so went with them for that but that is neither here nor there for this thread!

Renewal notice with AXA for a 60yo male with full no claims discount on a 2010 1.4 Ford Focus Zetec €551 full comp plus no claims protection and rescue.

Called and the girl took a look to "see what we can do" and came back with a quote exactly 10% less. So another year for €496 that will do me.

Insurance up for renewal on May 1st, just logged onto my portal to see is the renewal quote in, and it is.

Age: 30 odd
Car: 2013 Ford Galaxy 2.0 Auto
Licence: Full for 14 years
NCD: 12 years
Points/Claims etc: 0

Wife named on my policy, 30 odd years old, learner permit.

Been with AXA for all bar one year since 2008, premium last year was €800 comprehensive.

Renewal premium is €750 and i haven't even rang them to haggle yet.

Chances are i will renew with them as i need to change to a 9 seater van in the near future and the market to insure those is next to non existent. AXA said they would insure it if i remain with them. Also have my bikes with them but there is still 2 months to go on that policy.

Edit:

I rang them, they have reduced it to €680

McCarthy Insurance Group €1300
Aviva €2300
Allianz €712
Liberty declined

I got renewal quote of €370 with 123.ie. Funny thing is that when was trying to get quote with them manually before renewal quote I got 1500!!! Crazy

Last year 1000eu and my broker was able always get me renewal for 1k eu each year, first with FBD and currently with AXA.

Got renewal for 1138eu!!! Opened envelope before even having my coffee this morning. Steam coming out of my all holes is understatement!!!

Broker sent out AXA ncb certificate, but it only shows 1 year with them. No statement of my other 8 ncbs. How do I go around that? Call my broker and send out certificate with all my NCBs?

Can't even do online quotes as my renewal is on 29th and they need less then a month before giving quote.

I was with XS Direct a fair few years ago when they done cheap quotes but with massive excess. Found them the same as any other insurance company though I never had to contact them once when I was with them so I didn't really have much dealing with them only getting the initial quote online and then renewing with them.

AA offered renew for 2900 whereas it was 2800 last year lol

I got an offer for:
RSA 2000
XS Direct 1700

Do you suggest those above? XS Direct don'T have good reputation over the net.
ANy brokers you suggest?

Based on how the other quotes were going I gave up and went with €520 for Liberty. Very happy with that based on the amount of experience/no claims I have.

Renewal from Zurich came in at €620.76 (fully comp, DOC, Full bonus protection). Had a slight change in job title so rang them up and got it down to €579

Other quotes:
- €550 with Campion (via Zurich, same benefits)

Online only quotes, will be calling soon:
- €621.96 with 123.ie
- €651.91 with Aviva

Lots of other uncompetitive quotes (€800+) from most other providers who I won't ring.

All in all, going in the right direction. Hopefully will come down a little more.

There is no logic when it comes to insurance quotes.

Well there probably is, but better not try to understand this.

Just ring around and get the best deal.

I didn't have to call them as it happens, I received a call from them to know had I got the renewal quote and was I happy. I told them I had gotten it but was not happy and would be moving (as I do every year for the past 10 years or so) as I had gotten 5 cheaper quotes. The guy asked me what I had gotten from who, I just told him the lowest and refused to say who from. He told me they couldn't even contemplate matching it, so I said no problem. Thanks!

No prizes for guessing which one I'm taking.

Chill/Ivernia bumped me from 650 up to 822. No claims this year, they're just taking the pistachio. Rang them and the best they could do for me was 792.

123 quoted me 580 for the same policy I have already plus full NCB protection.
