Car insurance prices in Ireland have been getting lower in recent years. There is no Compare The Market or Confused.com for the Irish market. A recent comparison of Irish car insurance prices in January 2009 by the Financial Regulator found that there are fairly big price differences in the highest and lowest quotes from different insurers. It is possible to save hundreds of euros by shopping around.

Some sample prices from the survey include :

For a 19 year old male student with zero no claims discount and who has only being driving for 1 year - insurance costs are pretty high. For comprehensive insurance on a 1l Opel Corsa - the most expensive quote was from Zurich - who wanted €3499 a year. The cheapest insurance for this young driver in the survey was from Royal and Sun Alliance through a broker for €1633 a year. This is a saving of €1816 a year.


CAr Insurance for a 38 year old male Civil Servant in Galway driving a 1.6l 2006 Volkswagen Touran Value €16,00. With 3 Years No claims discountand No penalty points.. Comprehensive cover for Self and spouse. Car has alarm and is garaged at night. The lowest quote was from Zurich at €426 a year. The highest price was from Quinn Direct - at €840 a difference of €414 a year (almost double).

Another car insurance price comparison was done for a 46 year old in Tralee driving a 1.4l 2004 Renault Megane valued at 8000 euro. With five years no claims discount and no penalty points. Driving 12000 miles a year, alarmed. Full licence for 23 years. The highest comprehensive insurance quote was from FBD at €440 a year. The cheapest quote was from Zurich again - through a broker - at €252 a year. A saving of €188 Euro.
