    Does anyone know if is it possible to get Car Insurance without an Irish Driver License?

    If yes, do you have some company to recommend?

    Thanks,
    Rodrigo.

    EU or outside EU license?

    Yes to either but if non EU (example USA) they will treat your license like a provisional so expect a higher premium.

    I'm looking a lot of companies websites, and most of them don't have the option in their forms for non-EU licenses...

    I'm wondering what could be a good company for this case...

    I would visit at least two brokers in your closed town and let them sort it out.

    She can renew her full Irish licence within 10 years of the last one expiring without having to redo the test, you need to talk some sense into her.

    If you have arrive in Ireland more than 12 months ago then the Brazilian licence can't be used anymore. If less then a GNIB car is required to accompany your licence and you'll grtbitish provisional rate(passport can be asked to be seen)
