The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Which insurance company takes your hard earned money?

CJ

Other - Royal and Sun Alliance via the AA.

Quinn Direct, no othere insurer would even look at me 21/m/provisional licence/from Longford...list goes on....

I was with Quinn Direct on my van and paid it off for the year (July 1st 07-08) for E1,350 and changed to the FTO in Feburary for another E300 so was E1,650 for 5 months really

If I don't pass my test on June 10th then I'll definitly be selling....

Be about E3,500 for the year on a provisional!!

quinn! they are nice to me again after i gave them a hounding and a few threats of the IIF!

Just wondering who the girls are insured with (Quinn aside)? Mrs. CJ (age withheld!, 3 yrs NCB, 1 yr full Irish) is struggling to get a quote below 950 euro on the GX with me as a named driver (33 yrs , 5 yrs NCB, 8 yrs full Irish). I suppose the quote is kinda reasonable but I would have expected better, particularly for a female as the primary insured party.

CJ

Get on to Britton and I also find One direct reasonable.

Quinn.
the only one who would insure us on this car

im with eagle star probably handy to know for future FTO owners seing that im the youngest here by the looks of things. was only 200 euro more to insure the GPX over the Gr so lucky me

I seem to recall there being some lady owners covered with eagle star (lady star) for reasonable money. I guess if you trawled through the 'how much do you pay for your car insurance' thread you might find some more info.

I'm with Allianz

Dan how much are you paying with Eagle Star? My insurance is up in July and I've been hearing good things, might give them a call.

My brother was having problems gettin insurance, went to ASGARD in Dublin and got a very favourable quote.

1401

Quinn, although when I find a similar price elsewhere I'm outta there!

Is that fully comp? How many years NCB?

Results so far (bearing in mind I'm named on the policy):

Quinn: 937
Britton (XS Direct): 1220
Eagle Star: won't quote
Allianz: won't quote
Hibernian: won't quote

And there I was thinking that girls had an easier time of it getting a quote! From what Mrs. CJ was sating the 'no quotes' were due to the car, I wish the insurance industry would stop with this crap of quoting some but not all drivers on the same model

I'm going to put up a topic on that later.

The difficulty is definitely with the car. The lack of consistancy is frustrating. You are dealing with the monkey and not the organ grinder. It's a case of "computer says no". For a specialist car such as the FTO I reckon you are better off contacting a broker. They generally seem to be more personal and accomodating, and it seems to me that the insurance companies seem to route their risky/niche business through this channel.
IIRC St.Pauls and Royal sun alliance will quote FTO through broker.

u wont find better laura!! believe me i rang loads (eaglestar, hibernian, one direct, tesco, 123.ie etc etc,) and none would even quote me cause they dont insure on those nemore (if ur already with them ur ok otherwise they wont!) smae with quinn!

@CJ its shockin she's finding it so hard! i had a few cars insured with them b4 i got the gpx (nearly 2 yrs ago now!) i had a corolla (1.3) an mx3 (1.5 dohc), a levin (bz-r) another mx3 and then the FTO.

Try ASGARD they are a broker for Llyods

Update:

Quinn: 937
Britton (XS Direct): 1220
Eagle Star: won't quote
Allianz: won't quote
Hibernian: won't quote
Frank Lennon (Broker): 940
AA Ireland: won't quote

Looks like the Quinn quote is going to win out....

For the sake of €3. Have you examined what's on over vis a vis level of cover, wind screen, break down etc, to ensure you are comparing like with like.

CJ - Herselfs broker crowd are trying to screw her over on the OPC - essentially they promised her a 800e insurance at the time of purchase and they're now saying it'll be 1600e.. so they're bar-stewards.

Cue much cursing and giving out..and online quoting..

and she found this: www.itsforwomen.ie which promptly resulted in a quote of 600e, that includes me!

I wish I could listen in on the call she's making tomorrow to yer one that tried to fleece her..

The new quote is fully comp, no (none!) excess, glass cover, free courtesy car, road side assistance, home start, personal effects cover, including hand bags and legal expenses cover..

Underwitten by HSBC insurance..

could be worth checking out

We apologise that we cannot offer you a quotation on our Website as you currently fall outside of the underwriting criteria.

So much for that then Maud.

Meh - that's no use. Try giving them a call and see why.. Maybe they don't do FTOs or something. :-s
