    "Deals" in insurance are meaningless - getting 2 months free or whatever is no good if that company is 30% more expensive to start with.

    I recently renewed mine and found FBD to be the cheapest; GetCover.ie were the next cheapest.

    Tried both of them but both dearer than my renewal - thanks though

    I got my insurance through 123.ie.

    Contents only as it's for an apartment but I could not find cheaper for the level of cover required.

    Try KBC, they where very competitive when I checked with them, I got even better deal when I told them I was already a customer as well....

    Thanks but it doesn't beat my renewal price.
    Thinking now I should just take the renewal price but it's not due for another couple of weeks so will hold out a bit longer.

    You need to make sure when checking you have the correct rebuild cost etc included. Most insurance companies never have this correct

    You're probably better off sticking with your renewal so ;)

    I used Chrome insurances, quite a bit cheaper than anyone else I could find.

    thanks - no online quoting which is a pain but have asked for a call back

    Got word back but they don't beat renewal either.

    Thanks for all the replies - I'm sticking to what's on offer for the renewal.
