Insurance for the South

[Lodger]

Can someone please tell me the cost of third party car insurance when you cross the border to the south ?

[SusanHelenaFord]

25 Euro for a month.

[Panchocat]

€25 for a car for a month.

[Lodger]

€25 for a car for a month.

Does it work out Cheaper for 3,6 or 12 Months ?

Or is it just multiple of 1 month ?

[gary&shirley]

No cheaper if you buy more months.

[Becker]

Certainly used to be less money if you bought more months. Must have changed in last 12 months.

[Panchocat]

Sorry to disagree Becker but it has never been cheaper if you bought more months, not in the ten years I have been buying it anyway.......

[Mollie the cat]

And I have to disagree, its certainly cheaper if you buy 12 months in advance you save at least two months.

I buy car insurance that is 25 per month but I buy it in 3 month lumps at 70 for 3 months, so it is cheaper if you buy longer periods - that is from the first insurance booth after the passport control - maybe the others are different?

[Keithcaley]

If you try to average out your visits to once or perhaps twice a month, you could consider going across on the first and last day of your month's worth of insurance ( and in between as well, if you need to) and then leave it a month before you go again; this will mean that you only need to buy insurance once every two months, thereby halving the cost!
