[mac mac]

right i thought id put it in this section as this has got to be some kind of joke .

jus got a call from my ins broker "first ireland" to warn me about my renewal which is cuming up shortly .

first year 1500 ish with 4g excess -crazy , i know
roughly same second year as still waitin to hit the big 30 ,
third year , had jus hit the big 30 so , ins dropped to 650 with a 200 excess (roughly)

SO , got a phonecall there to say because of a rate change or some bullcrap , my quote this year has jumped to 1500 , yes 1 5 0 0. yo yo which is a 250% increase .didnt know whether to laugh or cry . what a feckin joke. she said its to do with the type of car aswell .

so now the hunt is on , what a pack of

any thoughts as this must be illegal or something as extorsion !!

any thoughts ??

The power these insurance companies have is ridiculous.
By refusing to provide cover on a certain car they can basically dictate the car buyers market, affectively denying your right to purchase a vehicle of YOUR CHOICE. That surely is in breach of some act or law.

Maybe its a case of ringing the Insurance ombudsman and complain


there has to be some kind of bloody regulation to these whores!!!!!

 

[Mark Cahill]

There doesn't seem to be a proper regulator in this country or if there is he/she is probably a friend of Gay Byrne. Until there is drastic changes in how they regulate the pricing then the companies are going to keep on dictating which car can and cannot be bought and pushing pricing upwards.

Have you tried going through brokerages. You will get that quote more than halved. I was dreading my renewal this year myself and a friend have a joint trade policy both sharing ncb etc renewal came in 30 per cent less this year, underwriter is arb current broker is sheridans in navan, but have used others as comparison when
