Have you tried the AA insurance brokers?I am trying to obtain car Insurance for a friend who is moving from USA to Ireland. Even though he has full no claims, the broker told me they could not obtain a quote from any of their companies. It would appear that a person has to be resident in Ireland for 3 years. This applies to people moving from USA, Australia, Europe etc.
The insurance would seem to have more power than the law, and not a great invitation for people returning when they were force to emigrate due the depression
I'm having the exact same problem it's ridiculous just been quoted 4000 euro. What did you do in the end.I'm having similar problems having moved here from Australia - even having lived in Ireland before. My jointly-held-with-my-husband Australian policy only "counts" for him. (It's treated here as if I were only a named driver on it, not a joint policy holder.) I can get quotes but they are through the roof and I am basically treated as if I never held a policy before, despite over 20 years of driving. I've been told by brokers that Irish insurance companies only consider Irish experience, as a general rule. Seems an outdated assumption in this day and age. #headdesk
And the AA won't even quote for anyone not resident in Ireland or the UK for less than 12 months.
