Irish Mini Owners Club

Just a general question before I phone FBD and tear them a new one in the morning

Have people noticed a significant hike in their renewals from their respective insurance companies?

Got a quote in on the cooper for this year and its basically a full 25% extra...

I was trawling the insurance websites like Hibernian, bestquote etc. on Sunday night and I was getting 430-470 comp for our everyday car. When I rang the local Hibernian office yesterday who I already have another car with, I got fully comp for 390 and for an additional tenner, got the excess reduced from 300 to 125. Can't complain.

have to say that mine went down!
last year i paid 300+ for mine, fully comp!
this year 188.50 for the exact same, with everything declared!

mine dropped from e1,800 TPFT, to e675 Comprehensive. Im well happy, did not expect that!
Although i have heard of some peoples quotes going up for some reason, maybe im lucky

try quoteclub.ie

It might be just FBD Maxi because I got a home insurance renewal from them and it was up 15% and considering the price of houses labour and materials has all gone down I find it hard to understand especially as I changed to another company and got it 35% cheaper than what FBD were looking for.

just wondering has any of the regions got young members 18 yrs + finding it hard to get insurance or crazy quotes we have a few of these and would be a pity if insurance cant be got for them even if only for events for the summer.

im 21, 675 fully comp with axa, although i had to bite the bullet at 19 with 2,000.

hibernian are a joke was quoted 5k

I have my 3 classic motors insured with Allianz through Classic Car Insurance http://www.cccinsurance.co.uk/htmlsite/index.asp.

The 3 cars, fully comp with 2 drivers and a 5000 annual mileage costs €266.

You need to have a regular daily car to obtain a classic insurance policy.

im with fbd and mine went down, not much mind you but still went down

I was with FBD this time last year and they hiked up the price so I said bye bye went to Quinn and they had a deal on at the time if I got 2 policies off them that they would take the no claims bonus into a count on both policies so I have both cars insured fully comp for about €100 more than what I was for just the Mini on FBD

thanks guys, some helpful info there

gonna phone them now

im 21... just paid 1100 big ones for my paul smith 3rd party with quinn.. they were the cheapest out of the 7 or 8 i tried! 1st time having my own policy so i wasnt expecting much less than that!
hibernian aviva wanted 2500.. recession.. not for them anyway!

€1100 you did well considering its your first policies

pays to shop around...

hi lads good feed back on all the different companies and there quotes but it still doesn't answer what im wondering is there any way out there that we can get our younger members insured even if it only for event days, surely as a club insurance companies can be approached, there is enough minis in the club to get a group rate and be able to get these younger ones on the road even if it is restricted

Im 20 with a full licence and i cant get insurance for my 78 clubman.

The companies don't like insuring people under 25 on vintage cars ........I know it sucks

wheres the best place to insure multiple car insurance, none of my minis are classic 88',90' and 96' but can I get these under one policy?

Rory,

You should be able to get classic insurance for those that are over 15 years old with IVS.

Hi lads, sorry but no one has answered me in relation to trying to get our young members insured or is this a question that should not be asked??????
