Car Insurance for Foreign License in Ireland

Car Insurance for Foreign License in Ireland

Can you drive in Ireland with an international driving licence? Yes, if your licence was issued in an EU or EAA member state. Due to Brexit, drivers who have a UK licence will need to exchange it for an Irish one. If your licence was issued in a country outside of the EU, EAA or UK, you will need to apply for an Irish licence before seeking insurance.

We've got a team of experts on hand to help you compare the options and find a foreign licence driving policy that's right for you through our quick comparison engine.  
Don't let a foreign driving licence stop you from hitting the open road in Ireland. Get in touch with GMIB.ie today and we'll help you find the perfect car insurance policy for your needs.

Auto Insurance With Foreign Driver License

Whether you’re visiting Ireland or have immigrated, you’ll probably want to get on the road as soon as possible. The good news for those of you from EU or EAA countries is that your licence is valid in this country. However, the insurance offered under these circumstances is classed as non-standard, meaning that you may need to speak to one of our experts directly in order to get a quote. Enter your quote details in the form above and even if you do not get a quote straight away one of our non-standard insurance experts will call you back and guide you through the process.
