Right, my "friend" (who from hereon I will refer to as "I") got his licence back after 2.5 years into a 3 year ban. Quite bizarrely the licence is stamped "first endorsed 19.6.08" which is a date plucked out of the air.
I'm 28, male. I bought a year 2000, 1.3l lanos for €470 just to get back on the road.
Quinn Direct are charging €1094 for insurance on a clean licence without a no claims bonus, incl 10% discount for having another quinn policy.
It would be €100 cheaper if the value of the car was over €2100 or so, but I'm reluctant to lie about what the car is worth.
However, given my conviction there is a 100% loading, i.e. my insurance will be €2200.
It's a lot of money but at least I can get insurance!!
Are quinn direct my best option, or would anyone advise me of another insurer who would provide me with a competitive quote. I heard things about "St Pauls Travelers" but I don't know whether I should bother going through a broker and the extra delays unless I can get a better quote than €2200.
Can anyone give me some advice?
