insure.ie do aswell, but only if I tell em I have a full licence and I'll do the ignition course, which I dont and wont.

Anyone know of anymore?

Cheers...

Under no circumstances lie to them about that. It will be the one time that you will need them and you will be rightly fupped!

Hibernian will quote online, albeit with some important stipulations, but they will quote all the same

99% of them wont quote online for provisionals.

but really your much better off ringing them anyway, insure.ie and the like are generally higher in my experience

20 with a provisional, first time insurance.. its gotta be quinn direct, theres no other realistic option. ring them on 1850771850.
then next year switch to a better insurance co. when youve passed your test and have 1 years NCB under your belt...

1. the value of your car is irrelevant!
2. is this price tpft or fully comp?
3. ask yourself, is it worth it paying all this to drive? (insurance, tax, petrol, servicing & repairs, etc.)

Sweet mother of mary!

I'd wait for the full licence if i were u. I'm only 20, with a full licence and had to insure my car in my dad's name. Otherwise it would have been 2,750 for a 1.3 Glanza. It's crime to be young.

Hibernian do an ignition course for provisional drivers also.

you pay 70 euro (not refundable) and get a 23% discount if you pass. On 3000 euro thats a 690 saving!

Hibernian do not actually run the ignition couses, they are run by Institute of Advanced Motorists. The advise they give is good and if you want to get on the road to cheap insurance, getting all the advise you can not to have a bang helps.

The money that you pay is refunded when you take out a policy with them. It is also refunded if you fail.
