just had a quote on-line of ¡ê970 for my 17yr old learner driver son - they are regulated by the Irish Financial Regulator - has anyone had any experience of these & are we in the UK covered by this regulation? ||| Not to sound mean but if you do a search for "Quin" (to account for typos) you will find quite a few threads on this board about them.
General concensus is they're cheap but you get what you pay for. ||| I was insured by Quinn 2 years ago as they came out cheapest for me on confused.com. they have an Irish group and also a british section - this is based in belfast. I was perfectly happy with them and the only reason I didn't renew with them was I got cheaper quotes elsewhere ||| Quote: Originally Posted by mattymoo Not to sound mean but if you do a search for "Quin" (to account for typos) you will find quite a few threads on this board about them.
General concensus is they're cheap but you get what you pay for. they are offering named driver no claims accrual for my 17 yr old, free breakdown, windscreen cover & various other things for around ¡ê1k less than most of the other insurers & this is also with me being the main driver, which I will be as he's in school, & I've never had insurance in my own name, only named driver on my husbands policy - so all in all I think ¡ê550 for me & a learner driver is a pretty good deal

we don't need a load of bells & whistles on the policy as my brother owns his own car repair firm & the car only cost ¡ê700 (from a neighbour & she never drove it more than 10 miles from our town) so all we need is a basic policy for him to legally (unlike some) drive on our roads, to gain some experience & build up some no claims in his name

some of the quotes we've had, these poor kids don't stand a chance unless their parents are able to help out - not every 17yr old lad is a petrol head
