Hi CJ. I was wondering if you could update the list of insurance companies offering FTO policies to new business (the first post). I tried all of them listed there and I ended up with getting four quotes altogether:

XS Insurance (phone: 0818 222888 - they will insure anything, but excess is 4000. My quote: 650)
AXA (my quote: 1400 comprehensive, 1300 TPFT)
Quinn Direct (1890 89 1890, my quote: 890 TPTF)
Arachas (021 427 0505, cheapest so far - insured me with Allianz with open driving licence for 780 fully comprehensive with all extras/covers etc.)


All other insurance brokers listed on the first post refused to even quote me - but that's maybe only with me. Others might be more lucky.

CJ, please add Arachas Cork

FYI - O'Malley Griffin no longer quote FTOs as new business, so don't bother calling them. She said that the decision was made recently by the company.
Arachas are still quoting although the lady told me that only 1 out of 24 companies (AXA) returned a quote for me when I phoned for new business. Incidentally the quote was about 3 times the price of my current Liberty Insurance policy so no change for me right now.

Price from Arachas (via AXA) for myself and wife was the bones of €1100 TPFT. Not competitive at all given my credentials (old, massive driving experience and NCB, no points, claims etc. etc.)

I guess I can't complain at €380 from Liberty anyhow so I'll shut up now.

I've much lesser credentials that you and was well below 850 fully comp with Arachas. Odd...

I think maybe cos you're a girl OI?

Plus there is nothing odd about massively different quotes even when people have almost identical credentials. Its Irish motor insurance. The jokes on us.

I dunno, I got some stupid quotes elsewhere, I think the whole you're a girl thing has gone out the window...

How about 4, or 5k? Unless you've grown a pair of balls and you are developing a bald spot, you can rely on your p....womb for cheaper insurance.

I'm a year older than my wife. No accidents, or points. I got my license at least 2 years before her, maybe 3. Her first insurance premium was cheaper than my insurance was at the time and I was in my third, perhaps fourth year being insured. My car was an opel astra club, hers was a punto, so very little difference. Oh, and my insurance came down when she was put on my policy, even though she had zero driving experience.

[colm_mcm]

Nah optical, I'm old and have loads of NBC, if I was insuring Jenns car i would pay more than her, even though shes on a provisional

Wasnt a law brought in recently though stating that companies can't discriminate based on gender no?

[goz_83]

If only all laws were followed. They still discrimate. Axa still lady star don't they?

[optical illusion]

Dunno, I'm normal star

Apparently it's to be brought into law in December 2012

Ah sure isn't the world supposed to explode in December 2012? And they don't pay out for those things either.

[fastmangpx]

The (cheapest) quote ive gotten so far for a 96 gpx mivec is 920euro tpft,dearest was 1500euro with fbd haha,they are literally having a laugh,10years ncb and full irish licence over 10years,more shopping around and hagling to be done

Good luck, I gave up last year and will be insuring as a classic in future. Just keeps going up for no reason or no one will quote. Cheapest I've ever got in 5 years was 760.
