Just goes to show how f4cked up our insurance system is. I am currently insured in a 2.0 Rover (fuel injected). Im 21yrs old with a full license. Although i am a named driver (I AM STILL DRIVING A BIG CAR) my insurance works out at about E690 per year.

So if both of us are driving down the same road, I am paying E690 to do so and you could be paying up to E8000 and my car probably weighs twice as much as yours and can go a damn lot faster than yours.
Good one insurance companies.

Kayos - Did I ??? I cannot remember really, I am with them over a year at this stage, maybe u did, if so good man cheers!! I hear that they have a better system installed than Hibernian anyway, they paid way over the top for theirs so they have to charge people mad insurance to make it up!!

sill question....but how do you get away with driving around without an insurance disk? In Ireland it is an offence not to display your insurance disk, and I know that f.e. in Holland you are not issued with a disk/scrap of paper

Hello, I am dutch, so over the coming days i'll go into that website
and send some mails to different companies.
to see what is possible.

ando

thanks piet

BTW, I'm trying to go through each website myself iswell with this translater: http://www.tranexp.com:2000/Translate/result.shtml but progress is really slow

Most of the links on the page http://verzekeringen.pagina.nl are .nl
Very few sites have english options

bo, i am insured with those cats...but i am one of the very few that can be insured. Their rules are basically you have to be in US military or work for a US multinational (like me)... the reason being they assume that i will be returning to the states someday and want to keep me as a customer. little do they know i love this country and plan to stay here....so i doubt ill be able to stay insured forever.

The AA in suffolk street, they are a broker for church and general.

(I remember enquiring about insurance at the age of 17, before they would insure me I needed a certificate from the irish school of motoring saying i completed 25 driving lessons. It cost me a fair bit for the lessons but it was worth it in the end.)

thats where they make up the rest of the premium then. don't you think it's funny that it had to be the irish school of motoring who gave you your lessons. how much do they pay for the aa to say ok get lessons with them and we'll insure you. you end yp thinking your getting a better deal but your not, add the cost of the lessons onto the premium and see what that brings it to. i reckon that it'd be a more realistic figure

Got my mail back from Carole Nash

They told me that they do not insure modern cars in "eire" only vintage cards

Fuc it anyway

ando

I got a quote from O Reily Cullen insurance.
1st year = €4500
2nd year= €2200
3rd year = €2200

The initial price is steep to say the least, but I would be willing to pay for it considering the next 2 years the premium is half'ed. The only bad thing about this premium is that you have to agree to be monitored by satellite ..... :mad:

This one's a last resort

Do you really wanna hear this?

Geico insures me, and my wife, and my two parents to drive my car for 800$ for a year.

I got a qoute in town for only myself to drive for one year for 3800€

Im 30. I have been driving for 15 years. I really dont understand how anyone could afford a car in this country.

John2002

That's pretty sickening.

Although on the brighter side, for myself anyway, I got my insurance renewal price today and it has halved since last year for some unknown reason . The insurance broker couldn't explain it to me either but said to take it and don't ask questions!

ando

I dont want to start a new topic, so I'l post here.

I've pretty much given up hope of getting insured from abroad, and the best quote I can get is from Hibernian Ignition, but I can't do the driving test till 19th December because its all booked up till then. So that means I have a new car in my driveway with no insurance. If it gets stolen, I'm completely and utterly screwed .......

sooooooooooo, anyone know of any cheap insurance scheme for anti-theft? I'm just looking for something to cover me till around the 20th of december.

any ideas?

The_Bullman

ando, as far as i know you still have to have your car insured even though you are not driving it. I saw an article about this in the sunday times driving section a few weeks ago.

I can check this up if you want. Just to be certain like.

ando

Just to keep you guys updated:

I can't get insured from abroad. I tried a little scheme to get cheap insurance from Fbd, but it did not work. I'm now paying €4600 for 3rd party fire and theft on my 1.4 focus

8*€575 installments per year

God damn, this country is screwed
