Get Insured with Eircooled's Insurance Partner - First Ireland

[trev]

Shooting themselves in the foot I think...

I don't know if its First Ireland or AIG but there going to stupid levels and loosing alot of customers over it.

Im just waiting to see what shit they come up with for my renewal.

I'm sure it's probably the underwriters that can't cover a classic as a commercial vehicle, and I can understand why TBH.

I think you can ask to keep the original log book, but they'll slap a new white sticker on it.

Has anyone from the club spoke to First Ireland in an "official" capacity to get proper clarification on the imposed changes.

Many people are using the club's membership to get the discounted 195e price with them

Anyone here renued their insurance lately? What sort of premiums are been.paid?
i Got an insurance quote from first ireland for €256 which is for one classic vehicle. Not sure if the club membership reduction is incorporated into this quote.
​​​​any information greatly appreciated.

I got my renewal quote from First Ireland last week for 2 classic cars: Total 265.10 Euro
Last year it was after the exchange of some emails: 247.50 Euro!
I gather I have to email this year again and claim the Eircooled reduced fee of 20 Euro.
"Barnfind" you should contact them and stress that you are an Eircooled member (I have to do it every year myself)."

I think mine actually came down a bit this year. €285 for three vehicles. First Ireland BTW.

 

[Barnfind]

Thanks lads

Were you asked for engineers reports for your vehicles??

 

[rolheine]

No - I only have to send them the Limited Mileage Declaration for both cars before renewal.

Just phoned Steward at First Ireland (my emails bounced back strangely) = he checked and it is actually a bit cheaper than last year: Euro 230.25 for two cars (which is ok and matches "Trev"s renewal).

Hey lads...I wanted to renew my membership -so I lodged 25e via PayPal on the 13th sept to the PayPal address on 1st page of this section...

i emailed and PM'd Brian R regarding renewal and a membership number for the next 12 months ( he sorted it for me last year)..

WTF? "mass produced cars"? I hope nobody tells them they made 23 million beetles!!

And the Golf and Jetta thing? That's going to be a problem for me.

[*]20+ year old purpose built camper vans with no heating element

what does that mean?

[*]Engine replacements must be within 400cc of the original engine no greater

ah where's the fun in that?

When I got my first quote from first direct I was told that they insure campervans. Then they asked "does it have a cooker?" if so they wouldn't insure me. So now I'm with Carol Nash!
