As soon as the door is opened Person B drives into the car door causing damage to both vehicles.

That time of year again unfortunately. Was with 123.ie and quote went up from €556 last year to €634 this year. Ended up getting it with AIG for €399 (with full NCB protection) but got some made quotes. Before going with 123 last year I was with BOI (both RSA) for a few years but they quoted €1,144!!! Absolutely madness the difference between quotes.

you be amazed at the amount of people how just pay the renewal when it comes in without question, think that's why they take the risk on you going elsewhere,
and the crowd you are leaving will get some back from the crowd that your going to

Yeah it's the same with all utilities at this stage. I've a reminder on my phone set for whenever my contracts end for Electricty, Internet, TV, phone etc. At least with insurance they prompt you to renew

Just off the phone with KennCo to ‘discuss’ my renewal. Told them I was starting the shop around process and just wanted their absolute best price before I started. They knocked €40 off my renewal price of €506, so renewed for €466. Delighted with that. 
This years renewal just landed in my inbox a couple of hours ago. its down to €461 Shocked

Going to have a nosy online during the night and see if I can do nay better and then I'll try the same trick as last year and ring them in a couple days for their very best price 'before I start the shopping around process'.

Was with 123.ie and my insurance went up from 600 to over 700, i went on Bonkers.ie and managed to get Zurich Insurance for €512. Hoping it goes down again this year.

Thumbs Up €466 with that including lying about being a Dublin GAA member which is probably the best quote Ive ever had from AIG even without the 15% Dubs discount. Just off the phone with Kennco now. Got the car value increased given the second hand market lately and the NCB fully protected instead of step back, and importantly, the renewal down to €428.24. Job done. With the exception of AIG everything else was between €660 - €1020

Bought a new car last week, value is circa x3 of previous car, results in a 10% refund on policy cost

If it went up, they'd have told you it was because of the value.

Their rationale for the reduction is probably something like "newer car, so statistically safer on the road".

New cars have far smaller claims rate. The car is more reliable (less chance of a mechanical issue causing an issue), and less chance of a boy racer being in a more expensive car.

You're insuring the risk of the accident the car causes, not necessarily the cost of replacing the car.

Happy with my renewal price this year and like above replacing the car this week. Nothing flashy but slightly newer and waaaaaaaaaaay less mileage. 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

Renewed my car insurance last week, it was up 50e from last year, I complained until I was blue in the face and they refused to budge.

It was still 200e cheaper than other companies when I went looking for alternatives.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Who with? I got the very same and whilst they say, renew online for cheaper, I still phoned them (having done homework on other quotes) and got it reduced very slightly (10er but hey ho) than last year. 123.ie and literally renewed yesterday

123.
I was on the phone to them numerous times, put in a complaint and also asked them to provide the audio recordings of our phone calls over the last 5 years. lol

Still less than 400e which is pretty reasonable.
