Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Any tips to get best quote?

    my renewal came in at 480 123.ie, Chill came up with 380.

    I do 8000kms a year, age 47, live dublin, don't use car to go to work, lots of NCB the max, and no points etc.

    Cheers, in advance

    Best way is just to ring and say you're not happy. NCB is the same from 5 years on for most insurers it doesn't matter from then onwards it's the same bonus i.e 75% discount thereabouts.

    Different people will tell you different things "this insurer is the best quote I got" but doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason going from person to person.

    Friend of mine is the same age as me, same NCB, same points, same car in the same year and we live in the same area, and his quote with AXA was 250 more than mine, explain that??

    Tell them you have an alternative quote of €380. Or shop around further.

    Try a good broker with a decent motor book of business.

    Oh and use the correct forum 😉

    You’re like a dog with a bone with getting the once or twice a month insurance threads into that ghost town, we’re not exactly inundated here!
    ’MODS!? MODS!? Can you move this to the graveyard of the insurance forum? This thread is in slightly the wrong place.’

    I haven’t seen our remaining mod in weeks. Personal abuse, trolling and zombie thread reign. Welcome to the thunderdome, I mean, Motors….

    Personally I don’t see the issue with car insurance threads in the motors section. Plenty of helpful posters here and they make for good reading sometimes.

    Anything sub 400 is a reasonably good price IMO

    The insurance forum is dead. If you want a thread to go unanswered, post one there. I asked boards admin to lock it to new posts a few months ago. They are looking into it….
