Two families from the Munster region. Wonder if they're from a certain ethnic minority that has form for scams like this

Got my renewal today for January. It was €536 last year and my renewal is an eye watering €882. I had a claim against me in may 2012 for just over €28k and none of my renewals since that were ever this high. Its a fcuking scam.

I do not understand why people cannot get car insurance in just say Spain or Poland for example. Surely the single market means we can avail of any service or product within the EU?

I don't think you can. At least not any more.

I work with a Spanish guy with a full clean driving license (15 years) and he just paid 4k to get insured on a car here.

He did look at the possibility of using 'foreign' brokers but it came to nothing.
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.

Unfortunately not. Well you could, but no foreign insurance company will insure an Irish driver because of our excessive damages. Polish insurance company knows if you have a crash in Poland you only get €300 for whiplash. If they cover an Irish driver who has the same crash they get stung for €15,000.

Ah yeah, I always try every avenue for the cheapest. Been shopping around between last night and this morning in work. As my renewal is more than 30 days away some companies will not quote me yet, but of those that will, the cheapest I've gotten is €3 dearer than my renewal right up to €1400, almost double my renewal. Also, I have a claim against me 4 years ago, but for example, Liberty Ins only want to know about claims in the last 3 years and still want €1200 which is dearer than others who want to know about claims in the last 5 years. 

FBD (im with no nonsense currently who are the no frills wing of FBD) wont quote me as my car does not fit their profileConfused

There's no sense to it at all....they seem to make it up as they go along.

Not if you have had a claim against you, lad at work had his car stolen 2 years ago, naturally insurance went up so when he rang around other companies basically wouldn't insure him because of the claim, hes pretty much tied to his existing company for a number of years

Yeah I've heard a bit about that. It's a bit of an unwritten rule among companies it seems. IF you're with FBD, and make a claim against them, they have you tied in for another 3 years to makes some of their money back.

That happened me with my house insurance. Once you put in a claim, you can't move to a competitor for 5 years, in the meantime your premium goes through the roof.

Mate of mine works in insurance and constantly tells me about how much money the industry is losing. Say's we are all massively underpaying on all of our car insurances and he expects it to just keep going up.
 
The fact these insurance companies are paying some of their employees ridiculous wages, contractors in for 50k a month type stuff, is probably one of the reasons insurance is so high.

Not true at all HB. Depending on the size of the claim you might have trouble getting other quotes but if you have whats classed as a small one it shouldn't be any bother
Some people just deserve a slap
