Car insurance in Ireland?

Question

I'm turning 17 soon, and have passed my theory test so will be able to apply for my learner's permit when I hit 17.

I'm planning on then getting insuerd on my dad's car, its a Fiat Brava, 1.4 engine, but it will be on his policy.

He's with Axa.

I'm a girl too!

Any Ideas how expensive that will be?

Answer 1

Well when I got my license when I was 19, had my own car and it was a 1.0 engine. With Quinn it cost me €1050 3rd party with windscreen cover! However because you will be insured on your dad's policy it should be cheaper. One word of advice, apply for your driving test now! I applied for mine the day I bought my car. Five months later I got my full license and since then to now (3yrs later), my insurance has dropped to €560 (Allianz) fully comp with windscreen and breakdown cover!

If you get a quote higher then you think is right, you should shop around and get quotes off other insurance companies.

If you get a lower quote from one company you should contact Axa and let them know that another company is offering you a better quote. They will give you the best quote they can give if they believe you will take your business else-where.

Good Luck.

my very first insurance was when i was 18 on a fiat punto 1.2 ... under my mothers name, it was about 2grand....(5 years later) I now pay €320 under my own name on a vw polo with Quinn direct .... I wouldnt go past Quinn, there one of the best

Answer 3

hi you

not off hand its up to what kind of cover your dad will get for you but in normally works out cheaper for girls then boys

Answer 4

Put the car in your parents' names and get yourself included as a driver on their policy. At the moment you're so young it could cost thousands to insure you.

And anyway, you do realise that it is now illegal of a learner driver to be driving a car without a fully qualified driver in the car beside them? In Ireland? New law just passed.
