    In the Irish Times aswell last monday, basically you have a €4000 excess if you're male and you get a much cheaper quote than other companies with regular excess etc, i think its a good idea, im sure it will be popular with young drivers and the €4k excess is going to encourage them to drive carefully aswell, anyone got any details for them, i tried finding them online but no luck, wouldnt mind getting a quote to see what the difference would be....

    They also don't factor NCBs. A €4k excess is severe though!

    True, but if they quote people say 1000 less than what they are paying,(bear in mind they are targeting high risk & young drivers so the likelyhood is they are paying >3000 already) then it would make it very attractive, obviously you have to weigh up the risk, and your own driving, but for alot of people it might be worthwhile.

    Accord to todays IT they dont do young drivers, they are after the performance car market. Still good to see some different thinking in the market
