Do any of you guys have cover with this crowd? Or had any experience with them? I'm not with them myself, but their online quotation service looks very good as they will quote just about any type of performance car 8) :twisted:
But the prices are beginning to worry me.
Towards the end of last year I got a quote on my FTO GR for ~€2k
Then around Christmas time I got another quote (same criteria) ~€2.5
Tried it again today and it's gone up to ~€2.8k
They're all 3rd party F&T quotes. And just today got a quote of €1200 3rd party F&T for an MR2 GT Turbo :? :)

that's the only thing about online quotes, they don't usually stand over them, you'd have to ring up and get a quote reference just to be on the safe side.

I spoke to them last August when my insurance came up for renewal and they weren't competitive - several hundred more expensive than my current insurer.

I'm insured with them. 1,850 euro. full licence,full no claims 30years of age. Expensive considering the last car I had was the new Laguna and my insurance fully comp was only 500euro.

I'm with them for less than a grand - this was a few hundred less than I found elsewhere. I did have to raise the excess to 300 though to get the premium down.

Rang around different Insurance companies that were recommended at the time by the forum. Britton were the cheapest.
