"A 51 year-old woman living in Blackrock, Co Dublin, driving a 2018 Kia Sportage could pay as little as €300 for the year, Revolut said. The next best quote available now in Ireland is €490, Revolut said, with the average quote among five of the country’s leading insurers coming in at €548."
I have friends and family in that broad bracket not paying anything as high as Revolut claim. So I went to the first google result I could find and put in details for a 51yr old living in blackrock and a 2018 sportage, with 6+ no claims and full licence and got €380 - far from the "next best quote available in Ireland of €490" - and I assume I could find cheaper if I tried, as a close relative in that bracket is paying about €330).. (I don't know the criteria Revolut used for their Irish Independent article (advert) but it seems reasonable to assume full no claims and licence).
What is wrong with journalism (same with bank deposits) - can they not make any attempt to authenticate claims like this? The "next best quote" of €490, and the average quote among 5 coming in at €548 simply isn't true imo.
