Car insurance in Ireland has gone through the roof lately. Got quoted €8200 yearly for my 1.5 Honda. Fuck that.

I do have an urge for a Peugeot 106 Rallye though but they still want €5000 to cover me
.

8200?!? Christ almighty. How much for something like a new Merc / Audi?

On my mums 2010 BMW 320d. I'm a  21 year old male.




For those that don't know, third party coverage doesn't even cover the car. If I hit someone, they're medical bills/ car repair bills are covered. If I put the car in a ditch and write it off, I'm shit out of luck.

How does that even make sense? In the UK £1500 is pricey, 14k is fucked.

It seems to be a combination of private insurance companies being greedy cunts and us regular folk paying for all the insurance scammers that claim €20k plus in whiplash cases. Even my dads premium increased by more than 50% this year and he's 61.

Unfortunately now this causes people to just drive without insurance which is only making the problem worse.

For reference im a student working part time and make less than €11k a year before taxes.  Most of which pays for education.

Robbing bastards! Not to rub it in but I pay just over £300 a year on my Audi A4 Avant, and it was £270 before I moved house last year.

My insurance is about $70/week. Full comprehensive, $2k excess if I crash.

Such expensive insurance! for us here insurance is not expensive at all, but customs surely are, wich result very expensive cars. For example an old Peugeot 205 average condition sells for 2500/3000 euros, no special options. Someone i know bought a VW Golf 5 for 4600 from Italy few years ago and paid like 9000 for customs.

I've got an accord, is300 and my Volvo c30 full coverage for 2500 a year w 500 deductible.

I wouldn't even drive if I had to pay that. Mine is $280/month for my wife and I on my truck and her Kia.

[Oddity]

Damn, that's fucked Hugh! My Wife and I only pay $150 a month for her car and my truck. And to think that the scumtards around here without are without insurance because it's "too expensive".

[Prodigal Son]

I've been hit by two assholes without insurance. Get the fuck off the road!

[Kinchy]

You guys seem to pay high excess, mines 150. But my insurance is ridiculous because I've only had my license a year, had a crash, and need business cover

I just saw Donald and his wife's dopplegangers in Chino Hills tonight. His name was Donald and the girlfriend had the same hair as his wife(at one time?).When I heard the cashier say Donald I seriously second guessed it and had to lurk your old posts..
