They're the same on GTIs, they won't quote you till your 25.

So I rang up on me 25th birthday last month

 

The only two companies I have any sort of respect for are Britton and Hibernian.

I walked into Axa the other day and the criteria was 30 on a Golf GTI - Group 7 insurance she said to me. I said so a 5 years NCB and a full licence 5 years means nothing to you?? 30!!!!!!!!!!!

Same with Quinn, "won't quote on that car".

 

Ohh it's great to be old

My thoughts exactly, the one good thing about getting older, well besides looking forward to the day they stop asking me for id in pubs and offsales

They stopped asking me in 1964

Were you not a named driver untill recently Mark?

The points probably don't help either

They started asking me the weekend of my 18th, I never had a problem before that

 

rang them back about cancelling and they said they would quote me but i have to have proof that i was buying the car ie deposit. Thats a bit unhelpfull, dont want to lose a deposit if it turns out insurance is to expensive.

Whats yer opinion on a quote of €1,470 comp for a 03 golf 130bhp highline, 23yrs old and 4yrs ncb. Got this from Hibernian

 

I paid Quinn 1500ish last year as a 24yr old, with 4yrs ncb on my PD130. Was getting cheaper quotes elsewhere but needed the 'drive other cars' piece so was willing to pay a little extra.

Try FBD - they only list 'TDI', and werent too pushed about the different models. I paid 900 quid this year with Allianz, think it was through quoteline.ie, I'm 25 with 5yrs NCB.

im currently with Quinn im with them 5 year and have 6years NCD they said when i was insuring the corrado
that because i was with them for 5 years that the qoute would not be any more than what i paid the year
before

any other company i rang for a qoute most didnt even have the corrado listed , of would touch it

Interesting, I'm with them 5 years too, wonder if that would explain why they are charging me so little.

 

yea i know i couldnt believe it either, before i was going to buy the raddo i rang quinn for an idea on how
much i might be paying, to see if the insurance would be worth it or would i end up paying a few grand, like some other companys qouted me,
she told me that no matter what the car because i had been with them over 5 years that my policy would not increase plus im over 25, i then asked her what if i was driving a 95 corsa and then bought a new merc or BMW would my policy increase she laughed and said thet wouldnt but the chances of that happening are slim to non..

I was until 2004. But Hibernian let you carry your experience as a named driver on one of their policies onto a policy in your own name once you take out the new insurance with them so as of Feb 06 I have 5 years NCB.

And it's great because when I bought my GTI when I was 21 and all I could get was named driver cover, all my mates said ah you're mad, you should buy a cheap car, pay mad money for your own policy and at least get a NCB and now I have more years than all of them - win win.

 

Tried all these, hibernian is still the cheapest at €1,470

Ah right, didn't know that would work that way, nicely done

So when I get my Veyron I can ring quinn up and my insurance will not go up from the few hundred odd it is now?

I'd like to see that

 

BTW that Horan chap has a very handy premium ! 900 quid... Will ring Quoteline myself.

Half that and you are getting somewhere close to mine

 

Aren't you the wrong side of 30 though

ide just like to see you buy the Veyron, try and put a baby seat in the back of that yoke!!

Eh no, I'm not that old yet, as my Corrado signature stated

That sounds like a challenge, they said I'd never get a baby seat into the back of a 'rado

you could put it under the spoiler

 

I was told recently tha I can't get insurance on anything over a Group 5 (the Bora 130) either 'cause I have only one yrs NCB in my own name & I'm 25, GTIs etc I was told are out until I turn the big 30!
Mine cost me €1800 last year with no NCB in my own name, should be down to around €1200 or so this June
I reckon

 

Quinn are dopy twats, they really dont have a clue, i worked for them a few years ago!

sure i went to get a quote on the concept, said they wouldnt insure me, i said i was 25 in sept, they said id have to wait till next renewal as their system wouldn allow it as i started my policy in sept when i was 24, Supervisor please!! got it sorted then, eventually. she wouldn give me the quote then unless i owned the car so stupid!!

ended up costing me 70 euro extra a year making it a total then of 710 which is prity good i reckon.

If you ring quinn only way to get things done is to ask for supervisor & put on the pressure!
