Just wondering has anyone actually attained anywhere near these quotes recently or is it the case of misleading advertisement ?

Im 20 and got a quote of 4200 on a 1.4 206 worth E7000.

I seen that ad last week in sunday world, so based my quote on that car. So there saying if i have 3 yrs NCB (which is the max u can have at 20) and a full Licence they`ll quote me 1565. Hhhmmmmmmmm, i doubt it.

Interesting to see if any1 got these tho

In June i paid €2400 for a Peugeot106 1Litre I am 22 and have 3 years no claims . There add seems a bit misleading unless this is a new thing they are offering.

Just got the lastest quote for renewal from quinn direct. 1400 this year, for me (25 yr old male, 1 yr NCB, Full licence for 1 yr) and 1 named driverr (25 yr old female, provisional licence, named for a year on the same policy) . Not bad considering last year was 3072! Oddly hibernian were over 1500 by myself, and nearly 1900 for both of us. Ah well, back to qunn direct...

I just called quinn-direct and I was offered a 5000€ quote for 1.0 micra. third party and theft only. I am 27/ provisional /0 yrs ncb

wtf is that about ?

I think they wanted to send the message: we don't want you as a customer....

then why did they mentioned in the advertisment that provisional holders are welcome ?

Ah but you are welcome once you pay what they've quoted you!

Off-topic Stupid question time:
Why can't the government step-in and offer insurance (if the insurance companies are the problem) or change the compo laws (if that's the problem) or both?

I entered my details (Male/25/4 years NCB) for that particular example of car and got €1,032.16, so I guess they are talking ****e.

I took the liberty of entering the same details they gave in that ad for the 26 y/o male, city, full NCB and got this €722.32, considerably more than what the ad claims.

Isn't this false advertising or something?
