    A word of waring my brother had a his insurance via a broker with Hibernian.
    The broker made a small mistake in the form when he started the insurance and Hibernian would not stand by the policy.

    Infact he was asked to show his his insurance by the Garda and only had a cover note.

    The case went to court as the Garda said the cover note meant nothing.
    The judge agreed and said the cover note was not worth the paper it was written on.

    Hibernian where in court and hung my brother even more by saying he made a false declaration even though he never filled in the form... he did sign it.


    So a cover note means nothing .. you need a cert in your hand or ur banjaxed :)


    Oh yeh he lost his licence for a year for no insurance thanks to Hibernian not issuing a cert

    Britton Insurance in Donegal are fairly popular.













    Shameless plug for Donegal business

    123.ie is fairly competitive. Also, since they are using Travellers now, their excess has come down a lot.

    Hi
    Just imported my left-hand drive car to Ireland and need to insure it. However, most companies seem to refuse to insure it simply because the steering wheel is not on the right!
    Got any tips on what insurers would actually insure it?

    Thanks

    Quinn and 123.ie do, 123.ie probably being the cheaper option.

    123 refused me on the grounds of me not having been resident in Ireland/UK for a full two years yet. Quinn quoted 800, AXA 500 - so went for them. It's not too bad considering I paid 300 when it was registered in a Stockholm suburb, and that everything in Ireland is so much more expensive.

    Insurance is extreme here. I paid something like 100 eur fully comp in Denmark, never owned a car while living in Stockholm as there was no point and that same car, that cost me 100 EUR in DK, costs me 1500 EUR here (VW Caravelle 2.5 TDI, LHD). So the pricing you got sounds like a bargain.

    Now in fairness, the rate at 100 EUR back home was a special deal, I'd say normally would be more like 400-500 EUR, but still.
