Insurance Question.
Hi All,
I have a quick question and if anyone could give advice that would be great! Got some insurance quotes through gocompare.com and the cheapest one by a long way (only £181 when my renewal was £350!) was from a company called Quinn Direct. I've never heard of them and wondered if I should be aware of dodgy companys out there? Had a look at their website and it looks pretty professional. So basically I wondered if it's worth paying a higher premium for a well known company rather than a cheaper unknown.... Thanks in advance! Chris |

Re: Insurance Question...
It's a different company, but I took a risk on a company I'd not heard of before (Highway) as they were significantly cheaper than Bennetts who I was with previously. When I needed to claim (admittedly from a 3rd party rather than them) they were good as gold, fine about mods and I stayed with them for 3 years before finding a cheaper quote elsewhere.

Re: Insurance Question.
Quinns are quite well known I thought.
I know at least 5 people insured through them, though its car insurance. Supposed to be alright, my mates never have problems getting hold of them, though none have had to claim. |

Re: Insurance Question.
Quinn are an Irish insurer (they also manufacture stuff!) and to date I have had my company liabilty and employers liability through them. They seem to organise themselves pretty well and no probs to date.

Re: Insurance Question.
Ah cool, thanks for that guys, I went with them in the end, really pleased with that price! My old insurer rang me up this morning and it went something like this:
-Hello Sir, I'm just ringing to inform you that your bike insurance expired 5 minutes ago. =Ah thanks, but I found a cheaper quote so went with them -How much did you pay, as I'm pretty sure we could beat it? =I'm sure you can't -Go on...try us =£181. <Silence> -Have a good day sir. |
