123 Insurance

sogood · 13-06-2009 1:10am #1

I've gotten some advertising/promotional material lately from 123.ie insurance, including emails, so I thought 'd get a quote online just to compare. But every time I fill up the questionairre, then go on to the "add car" section, after filling in the details, it refuses to progress any further and just freezes up! I've double checked that everything is all filled in properly, but no joy. Anybody else have any similar problems, or success even?
Thanks

i tried for 3 days online to get quote for my wifes car and when i finally
got it, was cheaper than most quotes i got...
But thats when the fun started...it took another 4 days to get her insured
because when i spoke to them on the phone i might as well be speaking an alien language,i felt like i was talking to someone who was having a
conversation with someone else and at one stage i was sure i phoned
the wrong number

after a few calls i was told she was insured but didn't recieve any paper
work for over a week..
then when her car was going to be serviced i tried to transfer her insurance onto another car and the confusion started again..
thats when i cancelled it and that in turn was just as difficult as getting
the insurance the first day...that took 2 weeks of phonecalls...
Best of luck

Is that so bad?! I was thinking to switch for them, becouse they are the only ones who would insure me on some sports cars withouth sky high premiums

buy a magnifying glass and.....read the small print (there's always a catch)

It always stalls using Internet Explorer.

Install Safari (Apple Internet brower). It works fine using this and you'll get a quote.

I find 123 are good for high powered cars.

Great for me. Cheaper by a long long way than my previous insurer. They wanted something like 1400 on top of the 450 i had aleady paid so 1850. 123 are insuring me for 630!!!!

I found the service online and over the phone very good. I had issues with my old broker getting my NCB sent out and 123 were very helpful and understanding.

I had a problem with the online quoting system though. I think i was using Firefox so switched to Internet explorer and it solved it. It could have been the other way round. Cant remember but try a different Browser anyway.

Use them for house insurance, no problems at all to date.

Found chill.ie were able to get a markedly lower quote for me than 123, but 123 were second lowest out of everyone I tried.
