10 Tips for Cheaper Car Insurance

Apart from the no-claims discount offered by all insurers, you could qualify for additional discounts on your motor policy premium. Reduce your premium by following these tips:

  1. Buy your policy online. insure.ie apply significant discounts for those who complete the process online.
  2. Insuring your spouse / partner as well as yourself on your car may reduce the premium by as much as 12.5%.
  3. Declaring that your spouse / partner currently has a car insured in their own name or that they have the full time use of a company car can qualify you for a discount of approximately 20%.
  4. If you're short of a full 5 years no-claims bonus in your own name, previous claims free experience as a named driver on another policy (e.g. spouse's car, family car or company car) can help you make up the shortfall. This could save you 10% for each additional qualifying year up to the maximum of 5 years.
  5. Security Features such as an alarm or an immobilizer can reduce the premium.
  6. Discounts of up to 17.5% are available to Irish license holders with no penalty points.
  7. A lower annual mileage can reduce the premium with some insurers.
  8. While Comprehensive Cover is preferred by most drivers – for very low value cars in might make sense to choose Third Party Fire & Theft. With insure.ie it is easy to compare both, so see which option suits you best.
  9. Some insurers offer a discount of up to 10% on Motor Cover if your home insurance is also with them.
  10. Use insure.ie to compare prices and reduce your car insurance bill.
