Even if it's a little bit out, it'll explain the differences between areas. Looks like Belfast is a bad insurance area according to that.

How many years no claims/points/accidents have you had? £1900 does seem excessive for a group 11 car.

No accidents, points or claims!

Czech,
If you lived down here in the Rep. (I know, I know) at 21 driving a new 2.2 Civic you probably wouldn't get a quote considering FBD wouldn't quote me on my 1.8 at 42 with a clean licence. I know young lads at work with 1.2 cars being quoted over 3000 euros!
PS I forgot to mention the road tax for a 2.2 currently 722 euro annualy.

Thanks for the advice everyone, finally got it sorted out today after a bit of shopping around! Went for Quinn Direct, Irish company quoted me just under £1300 which I'm happy enough with. surprising after reading your comment 99jim but it'll do me! Thanks again!

Steer clear of elephant.

but try Herts Insurance Consultants. google them for the phone number, very good and did me some cracking quotes over the years

Occasionally it's an advantage to be a retired old fart!I pay £244 on my 1.8 Sport with Saga.

I'm dreading my Type R insurance in March.

35
Birmingham
1 claim for damage / theft in last 3 years
2 claims for stolen cars in last 4 years
1 accident (other driver drove off so *my* fault)
3 points for speeding
0 ncb

Has anyone insured or tried to insure their car through Honda? I know my boss had a good deal when he insured his Corolla through Toyota.

Insurance is never going to be easy on the pocket, although the following 2 things are working against you.
Driver age
Location of insured person
My son of 20 years old has just insured his Fiesta, he paid an arm and a leg in a relativley cheap area to get insurance with 1 year no claims, i think it was in the region of £1500.
The next point is important as I have a very close friend who lives in Northern Ireland (Newrey), we are close at age levels him and me, but my friend pays at least £250 per year for his insurance more than I because of his location.
Solution - change the car and your location or just bite the bullet and enjoy life.

ouch!! good luck, thats gonna be a big quote mate X

czechplastik · 16th January 2007, 19:53

I had thought about Honda but never got round to seeking a quote, they go through sun-alliance for the cover. Anyone had experience of them?

lhirst · 16th January 2007, 20:00

I got a quote from Honda-£540.More than twice what I pay Saga which incidentally also includes cover for my Wife and Son.

Hartside · 18th January 2007, 12:20

I have just insured mine through Honda (Sun Alliance) Quote was cheaper than my Direct Line renewal and I managed to reduce the policy excess to only £100. Cover is very good in comparison also.

I could have got it even cheaper with some other companies but cover didn't meet what I wanted or excesses were high
