Helped my mother today with her renewal. Best I could get was 410 fully comp on a 1.2 fiesta. That was after spending half the morning online and ringing around. Convinced that was the best she could get. I left for work and ten mins later she texts me saying she got it for 360. I'm gonna leave all my renewals to her now :pac:

Not really was still around 700 gbp on a cavalier v6 12 years later, technically at time of moving over here it was cheaper to insure car over here (690 euro) lol

Gone silly since though.

The two above are a great comparison.
The diesel is much more to insure, the drivers are very alike, hardly a location thing causing that much of a change?

Getting quoted in Longford and Dublin made a huge difference to me as a young male driver, I think it was almost 700 pound in the difference, not sure if its still the same.

you'd think challengemaster would be a lot cheaper considering he has 6 years ncb vs the 3.

I'm convinced actuaries just pull the figures out of their arse.

You can add on another 10% because I got a discount for having a multi policy. I put my parents on as named drivers and that knocked off another € 200

That's not too bad considering the cheapest I could get when we first moved over was £1200 on a 03 Fiesta. There's a decent markup for being foreign.

Seems like i've done really well in comparison to all the other quotes, had been insuring through cornmarket with Royal Sun Alliance for the last 4 years, but this year they wanted 404 or something and I thought i'd ring another company! Glad i did!

Looking at some other quotes here, I don't know how im getting it so cheap.

So my Insurance was € 378 last year.

Just got my renewal letter this year and its € 583..........thats a fookin ridiculous hike, ive had no accidents in the year, I have the points for 2 years so nothing has changed ...........except the car value has gone down and my NCB has gone up

ShaunieVW · 15-06-2015 10:26am

Same here, was 520, turned 25 during the policy and all and the cheapest I can get is 745. Some hike, haven't paid that since I was 21 or 22.

YbFocus · 15-06-2015 10:29am

Mine went up 60 on a 323i, ring around men or even lie about a cheaper quote, they may match it.

ShaunieVW · 15-06-2015 10:32am

I have done, rang every company under the sun at this stage, most coming in 1k plus! Also loads saying its a big engine, it's a 1.8t a3 for gods sake how is that a big engine!!
