Quinn Direcet Insurance

Goyie

Currently looking at house insurance and Quinn Direct beats all other quotes.

I get worried when there is a hugh difference but I've looked at all the excess and the detail and it looks legit. Have any of you had experience with Quinn Direct? What's their customer service like and their claims processing time?

Thanks!

Personally I wouldn't touch Quinn. That's just my opinion. I'll ask for this to be moved to consumer issues. Welcome to boards

if you do take out a Quinn policy make sure you read the policy terms and conditions before taking the quote. Some of their policy T&Cs can be quite restrictive. Also I have heard of several instances where they have tried to fob policy holders off when claiming, chancing their arm quoting non existent exclusions to try get the policy holder not to claim.

If the quote is massively cheaper then buy (if you are happy with the policy conditions), but be aware of what I said above. If another company such as Axa, Eagle Star, Hibernian or Allianz gave me cover a bit more expensive I'd be inclined not to touch Quinn.

Hi Goyie

Try 123.ie I have allways found them the cheapest, and their customer service is good, never had to make a claim but the quote was from eagle star

i personally wouldnt touch quinn for any insurance. its worth paying the extra not to have to deal with them.

123.ie would usually be the cheapest broker for household insurance but another broker worth trying is JLT Ltd (www.jlt.ie). they mainly broker for AIG Insurance. they are as cheap as 123.ie or if they arent as cheap they will match what ever the cheapest quote you have got. and the AIG policy is pretty good. i havent dealt with them on the household side of things for about a year but they should still do the price matching.

Thank you so much for the feedback, greatly appreciated.

If it was me I would not use Quinn for anything else other than 3rd party car insurance.
Bank of Ireland had 50% off Home Insurance up until the end of March. I see they now have a price match promise. Ask BOI to match your Quinn quote and you will get much better cover.

wow, not a bad offer! Details here

Also underwritten by RSA, who I'd rather deal with than Quinn. the policy seems pretty decent too, accidental damage cover as standard for one

Eventually decided on AIB for the insurance. Managed to read through all the detail and they were teh best for my situation.

Thanks for your inputs.;)
