Thanks for the help
Hi,
I've decided, after much agonising, researching and hunting on the net to go for AXA. They're the 3rd cheapest quote i got, but think they offer a better service all round.
The cheapest quote i got was from Quinn Direct - but i've read alot of bad press about them, so staying well clear - plus their excess is around the 300 mark.
Next were Eagle Star - but when they heard the car i was buying was 10 years old, he warned me not to buy anything older, as they're not keen on insuring antyhing over 10yo. When i asked if, in a years time i was renewing with them, would they insure me and how much my premium was likely to go down, providing i had no claims/penalties - he said 50euro. (due to the age of the car).
Axa on the other hand seem to offer better benefits, have more optional extras and i've heard good stories about them. and the guys on the phone are very nice and helpful. so they're getting my 1370euro.
I found brokers quoting above what Axa quoted me direct for 3pft.. but under for Comp.
thers also a good insurance compalint website - mijab.com - have a look.
Thanks for the help,
Cheers.& enjoy the weekend.
