29years old when I took out the policy last August, E30 M3, fully comp with protected 4.5years NCB, with FBD, It cost me a hefty €2,000

I could'nt get a quote last August on my E30 M3, as I only had classic car policies for 4 years which dont count when your getting normal car insurance and I have been on fleet insurance since I was a little lad

Our company were going to insure the M3 on the fleet policy for free, but I had to get my own policy some day so I went to FBD our insurance company which we have been with for 4.5 years, and they gave me the above quote after we told them we were not happy with the other personal quotes they give me first 

They told me after 1 full year with them I will have a fully protected NCB and it should come down alot, if not I will take my full NCB they give me and shop around.

Its just like Mary Harney said. Shop around. Also its worth noting that insurance companies have no interest in customer loyalty. Their motto is "screw everyone out of as much as possible, especially our existing customers".

just got my quote this week.  they're looking for a grand for the bm.  had forgot to tel them that i'd moved out of dublin when i did it took nearly 300 off the quote!!!

another thing i'd like to know is how they can give you a 70% ncd???  70% of what???  it's very easy to come up with a hig figure and then say we're giving you 70% off, if they dont tell you the figure in the first place.

Quinn Direct must do as that' s what they're offering!

Anyway I think that the AA wins out with €480. Funny that their
policy is underwritten by AXA who weren't near the final price!

its not listed on their website also (http://www.quinn-direct.com/qdi_motor_policyinfo.html).
Anyhow I believe that they have settled claims against innocent policyholders just to avoid legal messes.

Thanks for that Killian, must check with them again before
renewal.

I was so happy with those initial prices that I really didn't go into
the fine print. Actually QD were the only one who wouldn't send
out a quote on paper, will scour the detail on the AA and AXA
quotes now too.

Major ouchies, tax and insurance up on the M3 shortly.

Insurance best I can find is €1700 for fully comp on the M3.  I dont want to go with one of those €4k excess places but that was available for €1k.

tax also €1,343.

I'm 27 with a policy in my own name and a full NCB since 17.

I changed from AXA through a broker to Hibernian Direct about 3 years ago. Since then I've had a few cars and the costs have as follows:

E46 318ci (2003-2004) €980

E46 M3 (2004 - 2005) € 1,600 to €1,500 (when I got married I got a €100 refund!)

X5 3.0i Sport (2005-2006) € 1,020

E90 330d Sport (2006) €1,400 approx

I've found their quotes to be the most competitive every year and on every car during the renewals.

Currently: E90 330d Sport

Previously: X5 3.0i Sport, E46 M3, E46 318ci,E30 318is.

Man that bites...
I'm drivin' a '92 520i - totally standard. I'm 26, five years NCB, the car sleeps off the road on private property in Limerick County (joking aside, it's a very low risk area), I generally don't act the maggot on the road, never had penalty points and Hibernian are charging me €1100 for third party fire and theft. And the sad thing is, Hibernian is the cheapest. It's like they just pull a random number out of the air. I'm being ****** over and there's nothing I can do about it!

Jimbo, did you go through a broker or go direct to Hibernian?
