Insurance companies are chancers!

Man do I feel great today.

Heres the details:
Im 23, Full licence for 4 years, driving for 6 years
No Claims, no points.

Girlfriend:
20, Provisional licence for <1 year

Car:
1.3 Toyota Corolla, 1995, 4 door, no modifications (apart from furry dice) :P

Last year my policy cost ~ €960 with AXA (first policy in my own name)
Put my girlfriend on as a named driver around Oct/Nov, policy went up to ~ €1200

This year renewal for €1014.55 (AXA):

Rang around for different quotes as follows (all fully comprehensive):

Hibernian: €848
Eagle star: systems were down when I called them.
AA: €654.89
Quinn direct: €734

So I called AXA and mentioned that I had got a better quote from the AA, and just like that, she dropped the price to €660 so I told her the AA was €654 so she said..... fine €650. The deal was done!!!!! The reason I went fully comp was there was only ever about €50 squid in the difference

Saved myself almost €400 snots (tax which is also due end of month!)
Happy days

For the sake of it!

oK oK, ITS been ages since my last post, but Ive been busy with other things (not necessarily work related) and to be honest I still dont have much to post about, Very little entertainment lately only I finally watched "the departed" and have to say it was bangin!!
I do have something to rant about now that I think of it. The bloody NCT craic is gone to shit!!! Ive had my car for a good three or four years now and Ive put it through at least 1 test. So Im standing in the house the other day and decide to look out at my tax, insurance and NCT to see when they are due, Then I notice that my NCT has been out since the end of February!! WTF! The morons don't even bother notifying you when its out anymore. I decided to ring them and the girl says to me "sometimes we dont get around to mailing everybody!" Although now it seems they dont bother mailing anyone because anyone ive been talking to lately has had the same experience. What a load of sh1t. Ive organised one for the 23rd of this month and I need a few new tyres, a set of anti-roll-bar bushings and a service, its also due a timing belt in another 10K miles. Thats right, I now have 170'000 miles on the clock. Hopefully I'l get the 1/4 of a million out of her. She's a 95 corolla saloon and I love her to bits!!!!! I'l post a picture some day!!!!
