Do Carole Nash Cover Northern Ireland?

[brianmcewan.co.uk]

Been getting some completly crazy insurance quotes for an FZ6, first site I tried was Carole Nash and they have been the cheapest so far via Axa Insurance UK.

Its worrying me that this quote is nearly a third of other quotes, I definately have all the correct details in just need to know if they cover Northern Ireland as well as mainland UK?

Any help would be greatly appreciated folks, thanks!

To get the quote, did you not have to give your post code? In which case, they'd know you're in NI.

On their website:

Yeah I found a few sites automatically stopping me going any furthur with the quote. Just a bit wary of it thats all.

Thanks for your help Paivi!

Hi

Different legal system makes things marginally more complicated. However the main thing is that claims tend to be far high over there. Claim amounts used to be decided by a jury, so wave an injury at them and they would happily give a large payout as it was only an insurance company paying.

That stopped decades ago, but the claims still stayed high.

When I moved from NI to the mainland in 1987 my insurance went down to a third of what it had been. When I was 17 my mainland quotes for basic tpft on a Mini (group 1 insurance on the old groupings) was £95, whereas the same cover in NI was £450.

All the best

Keith

Insurance used to be ridicules in the republic also.

It got to such a high level people stopped bothering, thus forcing people to display insurance disks as well as tax disks in their vehicles.

Tony Blair just doesn't want anything to do with us

He's more worried about tackling the rest of the world rather than helping out a bit in Northern Ireland, although it is true we have dug our own hole.

I've heard about the NCT .

I remember when there was no such thing in the republic, but now its more strict than over here.

ie we can have an MOT at our dealer or local garage and they can fix any faults, then re-issue an MOT. Whereas the NCT you have to go just for test, plus you can fail for things like not have the gaelic word name on your plate.

PS I used to live in Cork and I have family in co Limerick and Co Cork.

But I was born in Yorkshire.

That's very true Kawakid, and it's bloody annoying! They can fail you on the smallest thing, but one good thing about it is, for some things they give you a 30-day grace period to get the problem sorted, then if you bring it back within those 30 days they just issue the cert, but if it's anything major, you have to bring the car away, get the problem fixed, then pay for another NCT!! Nice money-making system for the government! They're talking about bringing it in for bikes soon too!

Another question, does anybody know if they ask for a 33bhp restriction certificate?

That I don't know for sure (I've only been with them since getting my full licence) but they never asked me for any documents, not even a copy of my licence, just asked me a load of questions, told me how much and insured me!

That number is for callers from the Republic, Sam - I'd say Bazza would just have to call the 0800 number!
