Car insurance - tell us your quotes/renewals

Male, 41, Full NCB (even if some try say a windscreen is a “claim”) and driving over 15 years

Last August Campion Insurance E571, 2012 1.2 TSI Golf

This January changed to a 181, 1.8 Auris and it went up to E858 and I had war with them and told oh its more expensive and bigger engine (ignore in 40s, low milage, clean no claims)

Below is a list of the usual places, issues in one form or another with 25plus, Arachas, Quote Devil and Zurich

I had my phone on silent and got about 5 calls/voicemail of hold music and I wish I put in a fake number like I did for Chill as they are the worse (I just lash in the details, then see if my insurance will match if not ring to go over a quote and see if the same as I got)

Do, I'd advise doing up a new quote first using the promo code 'Protect' and then mention the quote when you ring.

I wouldn't bother, just go with the cheapest one assuming it gives the cover you want.

Renewal came in at €343 so a fiver less than last year.

No need to shop around yet again.

No I didn't get any other quotes as I'm happy to pay that.

This will be my 5th year with them.

Used to change insurer every year with donkeys years before that.

Apologies, duplicate comment on the ‘09 avensis quote

Someone's typed to many numbers by mistake .

Can I ask how you got a Revolut quote? I can only find travel insurance on the app. TIA

Revolut is only offering insurance in stages. Update the app & it may show up.

I got a quote & it was 1830. Aig was 2472.

Got it through cover in a click for 492

It's a valid quote but they will probably ask you to submit all your documents again as if you have never been their customer.

I've done a fair amount of quotes lately for family members and have found AIG to be very competitive with high levels of cover. Have you tried them?

33(M), 2015 Focus 1.6 diesel (€10.5k), Initial quote in 2021 was on L plate with 3 months named on other policy, Full licence since June 2022, Fully comp.

2021: €1,539

2022: €609

2023: €505

Above with Liberty.

Think you get 14 day cooling off period. You can still cancel after but they reduce the refund the longer it is so probably not worth it if the 14 days is up.

I usually get a quote from AIG just for laughs. This year's AIG quote €2472. Policy I bought was €592 so 4 timers the amount.

Revolut with AIG?

Yes

I used a funny thing called google and went through the results and hey presto....https://www.aig.ie/our-sponsorships/golf#:~:text=Golf%20Ireland%20Members%20Save%20An%20Additional%2010%25%20on%20Car%20Insurance&text=Avail%20of%20a%20Maximum%2065,to%20switch%20to%20AIG%20today.

Car: 2017 Mercedes 190B, 50k km

Driver: male, no points, named driver for 8 years on a policy for a car in my wife's name.

Contacted existing insurer (Liberty) to see if we could add the car to the policy. Refused. O.K. then, issue me the policy. Couldn't find the car in their database. I didn't have the reg number at the time, they told me to call back when I had more information. Called back, was told that my file was 'locked' and the person on the phone would IM the first person I talked to, to unlock it, and they'd call me back.

That was 2 days ago. In order to insure the car, I need a 'letter of named driver' from Liberty. They had a web page for that, but it says it'll take 72 hours. The new insurer (AA) will wait 5 days for the letter.

So, my question here is, it seems like Liberty, to be generous, don't have their act together. AA found the car just fine even without the reg number, and issued me a quote which I bought. They also said they could wait for the letter of named driver from me for 7 days. The salesperson indicated if there are problems they can wait up to 21 days.

I'm fine with AA but if they have to rescind the policy, then what? Besides Liberty and AA, who would you recommend? And will I face this 'named driver letter' problem no matter where I go? Can't I get insurance without it? Can't my wife have a second car on her policy?

Thanks.

Had a renewal offer from Axa €721.42

switched to Allianz. same cover (better actually) for €395.98
