Try FBD, they gave me a very good quote for my renewal.

Did you rang them and filled in as,new,qoute or rang them with reference number?

I am in a same boat. Renewal this month and so far is crazy. Liberty gave qoute for 2700eu. I **** you not.

Hitman3000 · 02-04-2018 7:10pm

Just got a quote off its4women 540 euro. I'm a guy. Last year 700 euro on a 1.9 Audi A4 (2005).

colm_mcm · 04-04-2018 9:08am

Got it for €546 with Allianz with a named driver (who’s younger than I am, the system is mad) happy with that.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I feel your pain, mines gone up 300 quid from last year, liberty is cheapest so far at 700 odd.

Older cars are toxic it seems, will self destruct at any moment

Don't go near them! Great cheap insurance until you need them. Absolutely horrendous to deal with. I've just completed my year with them and I've never been so relieved to leave a company.

Try 123.ie, similar profile and car to yourself and they were by far the best at €465 Next best was AnPost at €688 and thereafter FBD at €759 but numbers soon got crazy thereafter. All those quotes were for TPFT cover given age of vehicle but some beneficial extras with 123 such as full NCB protection, breakdown assist and driving other cars.

What car do you have and how old are if you don’t mind me asking?

Dr_Colossus · 05-04-2019 4:28pm

39 and driving a 2007 Volvo S60 2.0T petrol, I think part of the reason I get such insane quotes and sometimes no quotes is that the car model has "Sport" in the name, well that and the age of the car despite it having a valid yearly NCT

Wildly Boaring · 06-04-2019 10:29am

50 quid cheaper than renewal.

They really ride those who don't shop around
