Motor Insurance

Motor Insurance – is something that every driver will have to buy every year so any savings made on motor insurance can really add up over the years. Most people leave it too late to find the best quote on the market and simply renew with their current provider for convenience sake.

There are several providers of motor insurance on the Irish market and quotes can vary significantly so it is important to compare quotes across as many providers as you can to make sure you save as much money as possible.

You can either do this by contacting each provider directly or by using an online broker. The advantage of an online broker is that they can compare different providers for you or they may be able to provide deals that aren’t available directly to consumers.

Also consumers need to be aware of the increase in charges they will face from most insurers if they opt to spread payments for insurance across the year they will be charged up to 20% extra.
