Been searching for insurance tonight, and the following all need to be removed from the first post, as they either don't quote NI, or the websites have died / been taken over / don't do insurance.

I think MotorQuoteDirect offers insurance to cover Northern Ireland, but I think there may be an additional clause or excess on the policy though.

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a company to try for a driver who is 80 years of age? My dad is a named driver on my policy and there are a lot of companies that won't quote for 80+. My renewal quote was £250 more than what I paid last year, though my company checked it out and managed to give me a quote that was £130 more than last year!

Yes, I am considering taking my dad off my policy. It's not that he drives my car a lot, more a case of 'in an emergency' or if for some reason his car is unavailable and he needs to go somewhere. Though, I suppose, recently, I'm away in my car every day..

*sigh* Probably makes sense to take him off the policy.

Any suggestions though?

Any company listed quotes for high performance cars in NI?

Secondly, who states they will beat aany other quote?

Just going to try Martins best insurance quote of 96 p!!!!!

I'm sure it's already been mentioned but I just renewed through Open and Direct and they still managed to find the cheapest quote for me anywhere. This time through a company called Equity Red Star.

Even with taking my dad off the policy, most of the quotes I was getting were a good bit more than last year. Had a look at axa direct NI online. That was really the best quote I could find, down round £300 fully comp - pushed it up to £340 with some extras. That was roughly what I paid last year. Rang them up (online) to ask what the difference between their online policy and in-shop policy was. Very nice man answered all my 'stupid' questions. In fact, I preferred talking to him than the ones in-shop.

Anyway, found I have access to a 'discount' insurance through work and they matched £340, including my dad. Got the paperwork and it's from open&direct.

My 'current' insurers couldn't match £340, best they would come down to was £365. Which is a pity as I've been with them for a number of years now and they've priced-matched every year. Even called them from Vietnam one year to change insurers but they price-matched, took payment over the phone and made it all very easy when I was so far away.... not that that really makes any difference in this day and age.

Am happy at £340.

Direct line are nearly always cheapest. And do their best deals online too.

Hughes are quite cheap. You get an online quote then they ring you and suddenly the premium drops sharply! Open & Direct are good too.

I got a quote from Direct Line for a 2001 Fiesta with 1 years NCD and for TPFT it was £1300!
