1. Get an Irish licence

If you have an EU or international licence, you should exchange it for an Irish one. Although it depends on where you’ve been living, this is generally a fairly straightforward process. Having an Irish licence can help lower your premium.

2. Transfer your ‘no claims bonus’

If you’ve driven somewhere else before moving to Ireland, it is possible to transfer your ‘no claims bonus’ from wherever you’ve been living as long as you can provide proof of this record. Contact your foreign insurance company to get the necessary information.

3. Choose your car wisely

Before you splash out on a flashy sports car, speak to us first. We can advise you on the best makes and models to help lower your premium. Generally speaking, smaller more modest cars are best.
