QUOTE (Bryn @ Oct 6 2010, 04:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>As above.....who is your GTi insured with? What are your stats and what is your quote?

I'm 27, male, living in South Dublin, full licence for 4 years, 1 years no claims in my own name and 3 years no claims as a named driver.
Just rang my current insurer as my policy is almost up. I was quote €1350 Fully Comp. or €1270 TPFT on a mkv GTi. Was hoping it would be the good side of a grand! But I will ring around over the next few days.
EDIT: Thought you'd 4 years NCB in your name.
I'm 27, have Full NCD with Hibernian and paying €640 with 2 points on an Octavia VRS TDI.

Insurance companies run a mile when they hear GTI and the few that are interested pick a number

 

Chartis insurance - 700euro fully comp
Im 30, 4 yrs NCB, full license for 5 years
Edit : Mk4 Gti

 

www.123.ie - 539 euro fully comp
I am 33,
14 yrs NCB,

full license for 13 years 10 months

plus 2 yrs as a provisional before that

MK4 Gti

Never had a crash or a claim in any of my cars - should be lower goddamnit!!

 

jaesus i was 20 had a 86 mk2 gti insured as a 2l 16valve
costing me 1200 on my own!

 

I'm 30, just sold my Gti a few month's ago, full NCB, 4 points. I was paying €600 on the Gti with zurich,
Now I have a mk4 gti, paying €500 for that, my wife is the main insurer on the '07 Octavia vRS and she's paying only €340 fully comp with me named on it!! Mad!

 

Stupid that the mark 5 gti is much more than the mark4 . I mean the mark 5 is safer all around, Better traction control, better handling, stronger chasis 5 star ncap etc etc. and on the road its not that much quicker than the 1.8t

 

I'm 25
5 years NCB
full license for 5 years
mk 5 gti
980 with travellers

 

Did the research a few months ago when I chaged from TDI to GTI golf and my insurance with Eagle Star went from €640 to €970.

I have a full licence, no points, full 5 years NCB and am 29. I got Insured with Aviva for €740 and that includes full no-claims protection, not just step-back.

I thought the big jump in price was because the value I put on it went from 11K to 17K but the explanation from Eagle Star was because the car is much more likely to be stolen and the value placed by the customer actually doesnt impact insurance cost at all.

123.ie actually gave me a similar price to Aviva but I went with the brand I was more familar with....

 

I got a quote for VR6 highline yesterday from 123.ie for €680 full comp, with all the bells and whistles.
i'm 28 with full bonus and 2points
an a bmw M5 e39 was $980

 

What happens when you introduce a change of engine?
If I wanted a quote on my mk2 gti 8v with the 20vt in it....will they even humour me?
I heard before that when you put in a different engine that they'll quote you for the donor car

EDIT - We should start a club discount!!

Ahh I wonder if you debadged it would they quote less

 

Mk4 Gti
Age: 20
Company: Quinn
Price: €1050 TPFT

 

mk5 gti.. 27 years old, 7 years no claims bonus... Got a quote today of 123.ie for 597 euro.. fully comp

 

Seems most quotes on here are a bit higher than I expected. I knew the insurance companies wouldn't like to hear GTi but bear in mind, i'm insured on a Integra Type R at the moment so they hate that even more!
Will do so more ringing around for quotes next week and see what I can come up with

 

@ ocky :
what company was that with ?

7years NCB
Address galway county

Once you mention GTi to them thay cant get off the phone quick enough. Im in the same boat with a 06 Mkv Gti,24yrs old and Aviva are the only ones that will quote me... Ireland is a joke!
