I am a provisional licence holder with 1 years no claims bonus. My premium last year was €1450 as it was my first on an insurance policy of any kind for a motor but now I am wondering does anyone know where I can get the most competitive quote this year
 
2 words that you need to become familiar with for each and every year you need to renew insurance.
Call'em All.
 
Who was your last quote with?

Try:

Quinn Direct
Britton Insurances


These are generally competitively priced for learners.

Can I ask why you have been driving a year and have not sat your test? Are you on a waiting list? I would advise you to get a full licence ASAP, and lower your premium that way.

Get employer to write a letter on headed paper saying you need to get full licence for job and get test fast tracked. And practice practice practice to make sure you pass first time. You'll save a fortune on insurance then.
 
I had an accident late last year and lost my no-claims bonus and as a result Allianz have really stuck in the boot with my premium for renewal. Anyone have experience of this and if it;s worthwhile shopping around.

they have probably simply stopped/docked your NCB. If they are 'putting the boot in' you can ask for a breakdown of the premium to see if they are putting any extra loadings on to you. This could be as a result of a conviction related to the accident, or even the circumstances of the accident istelf. However, the loading must be justified.

To answer the other part of your query, you could try a broker or one of the specialist companies, like XS Direct or St Pauls.
 
i used to have a ford ka 1.3 since then i have changed my car and have a 1.1 wot part of country r u in? im raging there such a rip off!
 
I have a 1.4l car on my provisional with 1 yr ncb got quoted £623 by quinn direct. Was with them last year as my first insurance £1100.
 
From what I can see it seems the more powerful the car, the cheaper the premium for some reason. When looking for a quote also this year, wanted to decrease value of car due to depreciation etc but I also was told that by decreasing value of car, premium could and will increase so if anyone can explain this phenomenon I would be grateful

I don't think that this is the case, I have never heard of more powerful cars arracting anything other than higher premia.
