QUINN-healthcare announces 30% price reductions for children, students and families on their most popular scheme
QUINN-healthcare has reduced the price of their Child and Student rates by 30% on their most popular scheme, Essential Plus (Excess). From the 1st July 2010, the cost of insuring a child or student under the Essential Plus (Excess) scheme will be €183 compared to €260 before the reductions were introduced. This means that customers will save up to €77 per child or student.
QUINN-healthcare has also reduced the cost of insurance for a family of two adults and two children from €2076 to €1922 meaning that customers can save €154 on their family insurance policy.
The new reductions make QUINN-healthcare’s Essential Plus (Excess) the lowest priced comparable scheme on the market (see table below for comparable VHI/Aviva schemes). For example, QUINN-healthcare is €137 cheaper than Aviva and €114.75 cheaper than VHI when insuring a student under a comparable scheme.
