    I dont believe we have one. There are just brokers that quote online. There is no equivalent to Go Compare.

    Definitely a gap in the market that needs filled for sure.

    Indeed, I've found most online quotes from brokers to be off the wall. Some won't even quote if you have a GTI or anything like that.

    Maybe the lack of insurance companies here is the the reason there is "no Compare":D

    There is this website:
    http://www.compareireland.ie/

    Just because it isn't advertised, doesn't mean it doesn't exist but I've never used it myself.

    I've found all of them give worse quotes than what I've got and according to someone I know who works in insurance, you will always get a better deal from a broker in Ireland than directly from the insurance company depending on the broker obviously (he doesn't work for a broker) and said to ring them directly because you will always get a cheaper price on the phone than from the website if you ring around and haggle with them.

    each year then the insurance is due, i go through all the website, phone all the companies directly.

    get the cheapest i can find, go back to my original broker and said well such and such quoted me this this and get them to reduce it below the lowest quote i received.

    having said that the cheapest i found was chill.ie but you get a cheaper quote online then over the phone and make sure you get the correct price in writing from them before you pay

    .

    Looking at car insurance on that site - all you get is just a some ads and links to sites (some that don't work) - no comparison facility at all.
    Accordin to this comparison - Axa were one of the cheapest in Oct 2010
