    What kind of car did did they turn you down on? Have you a full licence and if so, for how long?

    Hmmm. Is it an RoI licence?
    I can't see the system making the decision based on your choice of car so presumably its to do with your licence situation somehow.

    EU licence, but I could get quotes previously on the same, it's just now it's not working.

    I also put in 'resident since birth', makes no difference. Is it working for you?

    If you havent been living in Ireland for at least 6years i think, the online system wont quote you, and you have to ring in.

    I always get told i need an Irish licence to have insurance here in Ireland. I have full UK licence. I always ask to speak to supervisor and state that I have legal right to drive with a valid EU licence and always get insurance in the end. Ive just got a quote off bestquote.ie and bloody hell shaved 180e off my current renewal quote from tesco of 482 on a 04 1.6 Alfa romeo 156. Just got a quote of 301e fully comp with bestquote.ie

    I've never been able to get a quote online. They're all rubbish. I just look up the number and phone them. If I'm going to waste my time I might as well get someone else to do the typing while I scratch my 'nads........

    Rofl, that's a good point.


    I pretty much can never get a quote online - Ringing is a must, especially if you're a guy.

    Like the minority here, he is likely driving something other than a 1.6 Avensis.. Nothing with big engines (sporty or not) gets quotes online other than XS Direct.
