A few years back Horse posted his insurance renewal details at about 1700, as we both had kinda similar Toyota cars, very similar in age, price and year I was expecting the same quote, but my Avensis insurance quote was a whooping 250 Euro more than Horse's Prius.

So I went in to my AXA branch in-person when I got me 1950 renewal fee stating that my mate Taxi colleague who is from the pox slums of Fookin Tallaght and drives a Fookin Gay-mobile and has not got the most reputable reputation ever got a 1700 quote. Off goes 'yer-man-o' insurance salesman into a back room fer 5 minutes (prob releasing one off-the-wrist) and comes back with a 1750 quote !

Apologies Horse, that was wrong of me, out of order and uncalled fer, 
I totally and sincerely apologise to you fer calling you "My Mate" !

That sort of thing annoys me.  If AXA could have quoted you €1750, they should have instead of trying to screw you for the €200.

I was with AXA/BJP for years and was always quoted over €2k.  I went with Taxi Fair/FBD and got something like €1,400 (I think).  BJP rang me when I didn't renew and I told them about Taxi Fair.  He offered to try and price match but I said it was too late.

If you're a taxi driver with over 10 years experience and no history of football or drug dealing, the insurance companies should see us as a good bet and quoting us good prices.

Can't wait to move away from AXA when I change vehicle.The only reason I'm stuck with them is that nobody else would insure a banger.

Customers shopping around to save a few notes... didja ever hear the likes...


I would never ask for a discount from a taxi driver, even before I became one myself.

I was in my local axa branch a few years ago, was talking to one of their employees, he said the price they give is a fair price but people think if they come in an shout at us we can reduce the price but we can't.
I was dealing with the boss when I overheard the first AXA employee dealing with another customer, yer man says the renewal is 1000 but I paid 700 last year, the axa guy reduced the price to 750.  rofl
