Without step back - heaven forbid would mean a theft/fire claim which as you know is non-fault would wipe out the current 5yr ncb percentage. Always check the insurer is giving you the hybrid rate as cheaper than petrol alone.

Renewal is €390 for 'Premium' and €405 for 'Premium Plus'. Both are fully comp with 'Plus' also including: Windscreen cover Roadside Assistance Home Start Emergency Overnight Accommodation Legal Expenses Drive a 2015 Hyundai i30. I'll be checking their own website as new customer to see what comes up. Last year it was €330/€357 so I'm hoping to get it cheaper. Have to print out your own disc with its4women. Edit: Just checked their website. Can get the Premier Plus for €351, standard Premier for €323.

Before that I was insured with 123 So two weeks ago I got a fantastic quote of 281, again from 123. Promptly paid it, in case they changed their minds, then had to wait till this week to tax it. No sign of insurance disk after 2 weeks so I rang them this morning, they said I missed out a line on my address, and it would be another 98 euro. (I mean, I think it would be very hard for me to forget to put my house number and street number. ) And also, I was insured with them previously, so they had my address already anyway. So after a lot of back and forward with a guy who sounded lke a robot, he was just repeating the same thing over and over again. That it was my fault and I have to pay the extra 98. I said I'd rather cancel it. So I had to pay 60 for whatever, admin or something, and they are refunding me 217 or thereabouts. I shopped around all day afterwards, and I cant get insurance now, because my tax is out, and I cant get taxed because my inurance is out AXA came in at 414, but refused me because of the above sorry for the long rant.
