chuck 0 Posted March 20, 2003 OK Now I'm actually pullin my hair out. Insurance in this country is a pain in the ass. And as for turning 25, doesn't mean cheaper insurance, just means more companies are willing to rip me off :evil: :evil: My present insurer (who I've been really happy with till now - have always offered 2 free modifications :D ), well they don't want to insure me any more - reason, because there were alot of changes to the policy last year. I changed car twice last year thats all - and they charged me for it!!!! Well, been shopping around today, and either the company doesn't cover N.Ireland, or will but doesn't want to cover a car with lowered suspension. And the cracker was "Corrado? Well I'm sorry, you have to be over 25 for us to insure you on a performance car" "But I'll be 25 when I want the renewal - this is only a quote" "Sorry you'll have to give us a call when you're 25" " But I'm 25 tomorrow!!!!!" "Well call us again tomorrow" :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Is it just me or are some people just really stupid. Did you aso know a towbar is classed as a modification?? Anyway, glad I got that off my chest, now to the question. Anyone here from N.Ireland??? If so, anyone know of insurance companies/brokers that will insure a lightly modified Corrado with a mature and sensible 25 year old driver?

dan 0 Posted March 21, 2003 I'm with 'Quinn Direct' (Cavan), 31, 3yrs NCB, no points, £1050 on a '94 VR6 Corrado. They only insure people over 25 so you're just in there. Tel. +35349 436 8100. (they set up my direct debit £87 p.m.) My m8 'JC' is on with a company called 'Brady Insurance' (Enniskillen) he's 26, 4yrs NCB, 3 points, £830 on a '90 H 16v Corrado. Tel. 028 6632 4371. (they don't do direct debit but allow two monthly payments) HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
146 Jockey 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Funny Dan, I rang Quinn Direct last year and they told me they didn't qoute on 'sports cars'. I had given them all my details and when I told them what sort of car it was(1.8 16v then now G60) she almost dropped the phone. I live in Dublin so it might be that they have different policies. I'm 28 by the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Got sorted with Sabre. They're an english company who are relatively new to insuring in N/Ireland. BTW they are my old insurer. My broker had a long talk with them - apparently they thought I was a car dealer, which was why they were reluctant to renew my insurance. But the broker sorted them out. Car dealer eh?? I'd need to sell more than 2 cars in 1 year to turn a profit methinks!!! Anyway, tried Quinn and Brady among others (thanks to everyone who pitched a suggestion), but the quote was easily beat by these guys. TPFT for £850 with a Belfast BT9 postcode. They also allow several mods without affecting premium. If anyones interested I could give details of the broker that deals with them. Good job thats sorted out now, I was running out of hair to pull!! :D :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
