How much is your insurance?

I went to Hibernian direct. Like you said-they are the cheapest I could find. I rand a broker at the time and the lowest quote they gave me was from Hibernian-but it was still more expensive than what I was quoted direct. LOL

 

How do you get the quotes in the surrounding box in a reply?

Just click the quote button in the top right corner of the post you want to quote!

I'm from Adare.
Just noticed you are in Ennis - you should call out to Ballyvaughan tomorrow if you are stuck for something to do, there is a hillclimb on at the Cork Screw - ledgendary bit of tarmac! There will be a pretty unique collection of cars there.

Welcome!

It's not a BMWCC related event... the Sunday hill The Scalp in Carron (I think that's how it's spelled). A good hill for spectators I believe!

Dunno about meets - I haven't been here in a while! Some of the lads should be able to fill you in- keep an eye out for Fey! and Dergside. Of course there is one important meet coming up in October - Mondello!

Not sure about the rest of the motorsport calender, but the Galway National Rally (Summer Stages) is on at the end of August.  It's a one day event on a Sunday (the 27th, I think).

Anyone who wants to go marshalling at it can give me a call........

hi jimbo, im paying a whopping 510 euro , full comp with a full noclaims bonus & my wife on the policy as well, on a 1991 318i

welcome to the forum opus.
Just pray that nobody hits you as you could end up losing when with Quinn!

My insurance is up on Thursday. Here's what happened over the last week............

Renewal form sent out automatically  ( Eagle Star through a pervious employment scheme) which was €584.00.

Did an online quote with Hibernian ( our house insurers )  €355.00

Rang back group scheme about their qutoe only to be told that the quote of 584 was from the current insurer but that they had gone and found a better quote with a different insurer for €341.00. They said that they sent a letter but nothing recieved from them.

Rang Hibernian and asked for a reduction due to having house insurance with them. Down to €328.00.

Then realised that herself was on the Hibernian quote as a named driver so rang back to group scheme to add girlfriend to policy and the new total is now €309.00.

Will be going with that quote. Very happy. Pay via laser, no direct debits.

€308... luxury!! That taxes my yoke for 3 months....

Hi I'm new here, but have been reading these pages for a while.

I eventually after three years in the planning got my first car last week.

It's a BMW 316 Auto SE 1997 R Reg 1595cc, I bought it in London for £3,800. I have yet to pay the VRT but plan to do that next week. Interesting thread regarding insurance. I am 19 and on a provisional but will apply for my test soon with a bogus letter from an employer to speed things up a bit. I plan to be put on as a named driver with my father as the main driver, He's in his fifties and has a clean license for over 30yrs so there should be no problems for him.

I intend to take my test in the Auto as I absolutely hate manuals, i have taken lessons in them in a Toyota and nearly crashed in my lesson. I am constantly being pressured from all sides to take a manual test, what is the point when I can't drive one and will end up failing the test then because of it. My life plan is to immigrate out of here to the USA so as anyone who has been there will tell you manuals are rare there, (smart people).

Has anyone here been in my situation with a BMW at my age I'd really like to know as it would help me make the right choice. My parents who bought me the car are now holding me ransom and are forcing me to drive my sisters crappy Toyota (as she is gone away for the summer to the USA) and have this raving idea that I should drive that and get a manual license first.


Interesting first post huh?

 

 

@Kin: Sounds like a very good quote to me. In general it seems like
everyones insurance is pretty reasonable.

@netwhizkid: Doing your test in an auto sounds easy, but you have to be
able to use it properly. Not like the way you see people drivng with them.
You will need lessons in an auto to pass. And what kind or big girls blouse
are you anyway? If you do your test in an auto then you have major
restrictions. What if you get the oppertunity to drive a really nice car? (it
happens). You can't. What if you have to borrow a manual car? You can't.
And if you think you'll be able to do you test again in a few years, think
again. It's not set up that way. And lots of cars in the states are 'sticks'. Grow
up. Take some lessons and do the test in a manual.
