Rates are going up. Not coming down.
AIG are fine to deal with.
The best of luck with that shower. I was with them a few years ago (two cars at one stage) and they were an unmitigated disaster - incorrect reg nos on certs, certs "missing", demands for premiums already paid, etc.... I ended up accepting a quote of €420 from 123.ie. Shop around is the only answer

My current insurers, AonInsure, have sold their private insurance book to 123.ie. I was so disgusted by my experiences with 123.ie that I immediately looked for an alternative insurer. First Ireland have offered me the same comprehensive cover as I had last year for the same premium, €320.00.
While I obviously can't speak for your experience with 123, mine so far has been great - very competitive quote, very helpful phone staff when I called, insurance disc in the post the day after I FAXed on NCB cert.
I was with First Ireland before 123 and I found them excellent to deal with I must say. However, €420 vs €570 for same policy is a no-brainer in my book....
I couldn't agree more. For a crowd I left years ago they are very persistent. emails, junk mail through the letter-box, telly ads etc. I looked at one of their brochures and saw "comprehensive insurance from €270 / pa". The best quote I got from them was more than twice that....Was disappointed to see they sold their insurance book to 123.ie.........maybe 123 should spend less money on annoying TV ad's and focus on reducing premia!Gave me a rubbish quote....
They offer the same products as AonInsure from RSA (who own 123.ie) via KENNCO Underwriting....I'll try First Ireland in the morning so.
As a previous poster said above,shop around is the only way.My wife gets a great deal with Axa but they quote me over €600.And then my insurance company quote her a stupid price!!Is there some sort of cartel or price fixing going on?I mean,how can Chill.ie quote €880 and then the poster above gets it for €420 elsewere!!Somethings rotten in the insurance business......

Last year €490 with AIG, €570 renewal quote. €880 quoted by Chill.ie, I ended up accepting a quote of €420 from 123.ie. Shop around is the only answer
I'm with O'Learys brokers (with them for a few years now), but in the last few years, it's only themselves & AA who I get reasonable quotes from - every other company was always at least €100+ more expensive.
Hi Toby,
It may be that the age of your car is affecting the premium. I often get a quick-quote for a lot less than the quote when I put in the age of my car. There might be a step at 5 years or something?
Premia are going up, but that's a hell of a jump.
with AIG - around €400 last year, and €313 this year. No change to policy, just standard renewal. Car is now 10 years old so so maybe that's the reason as it probably would just be written off in case of any more serious damage...
Mrs Vimes thinks that insurance gets dearer as the cars get older.
Sounds like we need a Key Post
