    Thanks Cathy.
    This is what I got !!

    €2184-00 TP+FT
    €950 extra for comp. Insurance on a van worth €2000-00
    Crazy outragious quote especialy as I was told €1400 on a full licience and €2600 (on provieional.)when I rang in May when he was on provieional.
    That is why I waited till he had a full licience. (he did his test in the driving instructors car)

    Now he has a full licience you up the price just for a named driver. !!

    For less money I can insure him with AXA, buy him a small vw polo, pay his tax and still have money for petrol.




    Boards.ie is not a good PR platform for Liberty going by all the previous posts.



    Updade 6 hours later:
    www.insuremyvan.ie quoted me €1200 fully comp. Compaired to your €3132-00

    Yahoo!!


    If I tried to rob or defraud somebody of nearly €2000-00 I would get jailed .

    Yeah those two things are comparable. Company X charges €100, but company B charges €200. Company B are robbing or defrauding you... That's like saying that Apple are robbing me of €1000 because their Macbook is €1400 and I can get a comparable Windows based notebook for €400, same thing by your logic right?

    People get too worked up about insurance premiums. Companies rate things differently, go shop around and take the best policy for your needs. Has it occurred that perhaps they don't want that particular risk and that is why he is priced so high? 

    I seem to recall when I was a young driver starting out Hibernian wanted 3,000, another company I can't recall wanted nearly 5,000 but Quinn, the young driver specialists, only charged me €1750 or thereabouts... because that was their thing, cheap insurance for young drivers, sure the policy was muck, there were no benefits, and trying to get money out of them was apparently very difficult, but hey they had the cheapest quote which was the important thing. I haven't seen those type of ads for Liberty. All of their ads are talking about middle aged nurses and teachers, not young first time drivers. 

    I'm not having a go, or trying to defend their prices, I just find it funny when people get so worked up over insurance premiums. I've had exactly the same experience with Aviva, Zurich and Allianz, but you just move on to the next insurer until you get a price/policy you are happy with.

    My problem was NO insurance Co. wanted young drivers under 24 on vans. The all left the market in January 2013.
    Liberty coped onto this and hence there two quotes first been €1400 aprox. and 4 months later €3300 !!!

    It isn't true to say no insurers are catering for drivers under 24 on vans. The big insurers like Aviva, RSA, Zurich, Allianz and Liberty might not, but there are dozens of other options out there through brokers, a lot of them offering options through the UK such as Asgard - my brother is 22 has his policy through them on an Opel Combo van, fairly reasonably too. Honestly they haven't charged him enough because he is a crap driver.
