    I got an online quote about 4 weeks ago. Its a 1.6 car and I have a provisional license. The quote was for €2700. Buying the car in the next few days and I am now getting an online quote of €3,300 with the exact same details entered. I have the original email with the quote reference number. Can I do anything about his if I phone them? Will it make a difference. It will save me a misinformed phone call

    thanks in advance

    Quotes are usually only valid for 30 days.

    Afaik some online quotes are only valid for 16 days others 30 days. It really depends on the insurance company giving the quote. They usually stipulate this in fine print in the terms and conditions that they ask you to agree to at the begining of the online quote page.

    Try ringing around a few places and get quotes that way. Sometimes online quotes are not always the cheapest.

    Simple answer, no. If the quote expired it expired, but give them a ring its worth the try.

    the best option is call them and see if they will entertain you.maybe not as they are big companies and donot really mind if you walk off to another company.

    wow :eek: a whole €50 :eek: :eek: :eek:
    If the OP is getting quotes of €3000+ I doubt a €50 tesco voucher would be the deciding factor :D

    On a related point if I may...

    My insurance is coming up for renewal in the next few weeks (provisional license, 1st year, fully comp with Quinn and STILL waiting on the test, even though I applied in the same week as I got the provisional! :() and I'm wondering is there any point ringing around or are they still gonna be the cheapest - at least till I get the full license?

    Also, will I get much off after only the first year?
