Quinn-Direct - Anyone heard of them?

Astaroth

Having read an artical on them the other day it did say that they were being so profitable in Ireland because they have a very different claims operations setup to the other Irish insurance companies and so a better operating cost. I wonder how their setup compares to the UK markets? Dont know if anyone knows? Could just ask our R&D team

I've just had someone 'key' my car to the tone of £600+ :mad: and when I tried to phone Quinn (who I'm insured with) for annon advice they wanted my policy no. When I explained that I didn't want to give it to them as it shows on my file and I just wanted general advice they said that their claims department wouldn't speak to anyone without a policy no.

Have decided I won't be claiming as it's going to almost double my insurance premium next year,will also affect the year after as I'll lose my no claims bonus and will have to wait another 6 months (unless I change insurers) before I can start collecting no claims discount again.

I just hope they catch the person/people responsible. They damaged mine and another person's car and wrote obscenities on the bonet.

Why is unsurance so much hassle???!!!
