Car Insurance in Ireland

Car Insurance - Northern Ireland

Many online insurance companies only insure cars for mainland UK addresses, even though Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

The national companies that do insure in Northern Ireland include the AA and Endsleigh.

Local brokers may also be able to introduce you to other providers who can insure your car.

When you shop around, remember that the policy will almost always be more expensive. This is because of the history of troubles, and because there is less competition.

To keep your premiums as low as possible, please refer to our insurance money saving tips guide.

Car Insurance - Irish Republic

There is not a great deal of difference in the terms of car insurance between the UK and the Irish Republic. The biggest difference is that compensation and solicitors' costs are much higher. This in turn pushes up the premiums.
