Testimonial 

“I dealt with Ken in Quick Quotes for my car insurance. I found him to be very professional and the rates were extremely competitive. Recently I switched my home insurance to Quick Quotes and Ken made the process very simple and once again the price was very reasonable. I would have no problem in recommending Quick Quotes to my friends and family.”

Car Insurance Frequently Asked Questions...

What does Driving Other Cars mean? 

 
If you hold a motor insurance policy, you may have Driving Other Cars extension (DOC). Always check first if you have this cover. If you do, it allows you to drive a car not belonging to you for Third Party Only cover. Please check with your Insurer to get the exact Insurance wording as some DOC extensions differ.

What is Open Driving under my insurance policy? 

 
If you have Open Driving on your insurance policy, it will cover drivers who with your consent are driving your car with a full driving licence. Some Open Driving policies have age limits, e.g. only drivers 25 to 70. Please check your own policy for the open driving insurance wording.

What is an excess on my car insurance policy? 

 
Your excess is a monetary amount that you cover in the event of damage claim e.g. If you have an excess of €500.00 you must pay the first €500.00 of any damage claims to your car. As always, please check with your own broker/insurer to check the excess wording.

Can I protect my No Claims Bonus? 

 
Yes – please check with your insurer for the cost of protecting it and the exact Bonus Protection you are getting for your motor Insurance as different Insurers offer different levels of No Claims Bonus Protection. 

Can I use my car abroad? 

 
Most policies offer 30 days consecutive travel abroad – please refer to your policy wording for your own insurance policy. 

I have heard stories that it’s difficult to insure cars over 10 years of age? 

 
Yes – we are seeing more and more Insurers charge differently for cars over 10 years of age. We would always recommend that you ring your broker/insurer before buying a car to see what options are available for insurance. 

How can I bring my car Insurance premium down? 

 
Ring Quickquotes.ie for a start! After that, make sure you have a full license and maximum no claims bonus. Sometimes adding a spouse or parent to your policy can reduce the premium. Try if possible to drive a car less than 10 years old. Some Insurers can now tell if your car has an NCT on it – ensure your car has a valid NCT displayed.

Make sure to contact us with the time and date of the transfer. Always send back the old certificate and disc to enable us to complete the change of car insurance.
