What is car insurance?
Car insurance policy protects you as a vehicle owner or driver against liability in the event of a road accident that causes injury to a third party or damage to their property. Some policies also cover damage to the motorist’s own vehicle – this is typically included in Third Party, Fire & Theft Insurance and Comprehensive Car Insurance.
How car insurance works?
In Ireland, there are 3 types of motor insurance available; Third-Party Insurance, Third-Party Fire & Theft Insurance and Comprehensive Insurance. You pay a monthly or annual premium that keeps your policy active. Driving with an inactive policy or with no insurance at all can result in a fine, penalty points, and in some cases, imprisonment.
Car Insurers tend to offer lower or higher premiums for certain drivers. Whichever category you fall into, we’ll be able to find a suitable fit.
Certain factors cam affect your car insurance premium such as your age or in the event that you have penalty points. Read more about this in our FAQ section below.
