How do I avail of my No Claims Bonus (Discount)?
A No Claims Bonus (or No Claims Discount) is a discount that you earn by holding a policy in your own name without any claims:
- It builds up in years, so the more years you drive without any claims, the bigger your discount will be, up to a limit of nine years.
- Your No Claims Discount must have been earned on a policy within the past 24 months. To clarify, you must have held a policy in your name with your No Claims Bonus obtained within the past 24 months.
- The discount can only be used on one policy and for one person at any one time. This means that if you currently hold another policy which will be remaining active, you cannot use the No Claims Bonus from that policy on this one.
- You can use a No Claims Bonus earned on private motor, taxi, or commercial policies on your private motor policy.
- To avail of a No Claims Bonus, you must have earned your bonus on a similar policy. For example, for motorcycle policies, you can only use a No Claims Bonus/Discount earned on another Motorcycle policy.
- You can use a No Claims Bonus earned on a commercial vehicle or private motor vehicle towards a commercial vehicle policy providing weight of the vehicle does not exceed two tonne carrying capacity.
What if my No Claims Discount is from outside ROI?
If your No Claims Discount has been earned outside the Republic of Ireland, it must have been earned in the past 24 months, within UK, all EU countries, USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
Please Note:
- Once we receive proof of your No Claims Discount, we'll contact your last insurer to confirm the document is valid.
- We may need your help during this process, so we would request that you assist us with this. For example, we may ask you for contact details for your last insurer. We may also request that you contact your previous insurer to allow us to obtain information on your previous policy.
- This process may take some time.
- If we are unable to confirm your No Claims Discount, this may result in the removal of your discount, hence your premium may increase.
What do I need to do next?
Once you buy your policy, you'll need to provide us with proof of your No Claims Bonus. To do this, you'll need to send us a copy of your No Claims Bonus Certificate.
Your No Claims Bonus Certificate will be included in your renewal pack from your previous insurer, or you can request it from them if you don’t already have it.
You can email a copy or a clear photo of your certificate to us. Click here to contact us. Remember to add your policy or reference number clearly in any emails you send to us.

My vehicle has modifications, or I am thinking of having it modified. Will this affect the price?
Please contact us if you already have modifications or are considering any modifications to your vehicle.
It is important to declare all vehicle modifications when getting motor insurance to ensure you are covered. Not declaring modifications to your vehicle could impact any claims you make.
Please note that:
- Modifications which affect the performance of the vehicle are more likely to influence the price you pay
- It's important to have all modifications completed at a professional garage.
Where applicable, you must have a valid NCT on your modified vehicle.
The last years annual premium noted on my renewal documents is not what I actually paid last year. Why?
This will be the case if you made a change to your insurance policy during the year, e.g., a change of vehicle, addition of a driver, change of address, etc.
By law, we have to include the ‘last year’s annual premium’ on your documents which must show the annual premium you would have paid if the change you made to your policy during the year had been in place from the beginning of the policy term (12 months).
This is a requirement of the Provision of Information Regulations Amendment 2018.
This "last year’s annual premium" figure doesn't include any fees or charges that were/may have been applied to the mid-term change of details you made.
What about expired learner permits?
By law, you must hold a valid driving licence or learner permit in order to drive and you must carry it with you when you are driving. You can renew your learner permit within 3 months of its expiry, or up to 5 years after it has expired. Remember, you can't renew your learner permit for a third time unless you have a driving test scheduled or have been unsuccessful in the driving test in the previous 2 years.
You must contact the RSA and book a driving test so that youy can renew your learner permit and carry it with you when you drive. It is important to act now, so you are not left without insurance cover when the new law comes into effect.

If your licence is expired, you must renew it before the new law takes effect. You can renew your licence online or in person within three months of its expiry date, or up to 10 years after expiry. Visit the NDLS website for details.
If your licence expired more than 10 years ago, you’ll need to pass a driver theory test and apply for a new learner permit. Start this process immediately to avoid delays in securing insurance.
What do I do if my licence is lost, stolen, or damaged?
By law, you must hold a valid driving licence or learner permit in order to drive and you must carry it with you when you are driving. The National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) manages licence applications and renewals. You can apply for your replacement driving licence online. Visit the NDLS website to find out how. Don’t leave it to the last minute as the process can take some time.
In the short-term, you can call the NDLS to request your driver number on 0818 700 800. You will need to confirm your identity by providing your name, date of birth and PPSN. However, you must replace your licence and carry it with you when you drive. It is important to act now, so you are not left without insurance cover when the new law comes into effect.
What do I need to log on to my Customer Portal?
Policies starting with XB
For help, to log on to your Customer Portal you can find all the information in FAQs.
Policies starting with GEI
To access the Documents Portal, you will need the following information:
• Your email address that was used when you purchased your policy.
• Your policy reference number (this begins with GEI).
Once you’ve entered these details, a one time password (OTP) will be sent to your email address. This will contain a password which you should copy and enter on the portal.
This password is valid for 30 minutes, to help protect your personal information.
What does this mean for me?
You must provide your driver number and the driver numbers of anyone named on your motor insurance policy to comply with the new legislation. For licences issued in Ireland, the driver number is located under Section 4D on your licence.
For licences issued outside of Ireland, we will need a copy of the licence sent to us. Further information is available at “How can I provide this information to RedClick?”
As part of this change, we are required to securely hold your driver number on file and share it with relevant authorities, including the Irish Motor Insurance Database. This ensures compliance with the law, helps Gardaí detect uninsured drivers, and contributes to safer, fairer roads for everyone.
If a named driver cannot provide their driver number, they will need to be removed from the policy to ensure your coverage remains valid.
What happens if I am involved in an accident?
Car, taxi, van or motorcycle
If you're involved in an accident you should:
- Notify the Gardaí immediately.
- Note the insurance details of the third-party involved.
- Note the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any independent witnesses.
- Do not admit liability.
- Contact our Claims team here.
- Email our dedicated Motor Claims team.
We will then assign you a personal claims handler and deal with your claim as quickly and as hassle-free as possible.
What happens if I can’t get the driver number for each driver?
If each driver can’t be verified, then the named driver will be removed from the policy and the driver will not be insured to drive.
What happens if my vehicle is written off/beyond economic repair?
Car, van, and taxi
We will pay you the market value of the vehicle immediately before the accident. The value will be calculated based on industry standard guides.
New car replacement applies to cars less than 12 months old that were bought as new. Please refer to the policy booklet for details.
New car replacement does not apply to bike policies.
What happens once I raise a complaint?
Our team will try to resolve your complaint immediately. If this is not possible, we promise to acknowledge your complaint within five business days of receiving it.
In the unlikely event that we have not resolved your complaint within 20 business days of receiving it, we will write and let you know why and what further action we will take.
What if I have already had 3 learner permits?
You cannot renew your learner permit a third time unless you have a driving test scheduled or have been unsuccessful in the driving test in the previous 2 years. In this case, you will have to re-sit your theory test and apply for a new learner permit so please take action now. You can find more information on the 'Manage your learner permit' section of the RSA website. Contact the RSA and book a driving test so that you can renew your learner permit and carry it with you when you drive. It is important to act now, so you are not left without insurance cover when the new law comes into effect.
What if I hold a UK licence?
Since Brexit, you can no longer drive on your UK licence if you live in Ireland. In this case, you should exchange your driving licence immediately. You must surrender your UK licence in this case and the NDLS will issue you with a receipt while the exchange process takes place. Once again, this will take time, so address this immediately and provide your driver number to your insurer or broker as soon as you have it. Read the FAQs about exchanging a foreign driving licence on the NDLS website. If you do not provide a copy of your licence, regardless of whether it is a UK licence or an EU licence, your insurer will not issue you with a policy.
What if my learner permit expired more than 5 years ago?
By law, you must hold a valid driving licence or learner permit in order to drive. If your learner permit expired more than 5 years ago, you will have to re-sit your theory test and apply for a new learner permit.

What is a Driver Number?
Your Driver Number is a nine-digit number that’s located on your driving licence. Its main purpose is to track your driving history.
Where is it located?
On a plastic driving licence, your Driver Number can be found in field 4d on the front of your licence. On a paper driving licence, it’s printed in field 5.
What is my Driver Number used for?
Your Driver Number is essentially your driver identity. Regardless of whether you renew your licence or get a new car, your Driver Number will remain the same.
Information such as your penalty points history can be found by relevant authorities in Ireland if they search your name and Driver Number.
Why do you require my Driver Number?
It is a legal requirement for all insurers in Ireland to hold and share Driver Numbers with the relevant authorities in Ireland. As a result, we require the Driver Number and the driver's licence country of origin for any driver noted on a policy with us.
For more information click here.
What is a Green Card?
- A Green Card is an internationally recognised insurance document that proves the minimum compulsory motor insurance cover required by the country you are visiting. It is a hard copy document printed on green paper or with a green background;
- A Green Card demonstrates to relevant authorities that the vehicle being driven in their jurisdiction has a valid motor insurance cover;
- It is not required when driving in any of the 48 countries that are participating members of the system;
- A Green Card is also not required when driving in Great Britain and Northern Ireland if your Irish registered vehicle has a valid Irish motor insurance certificate and disc;
- Find further details on the Green Card system, including a complete list of the 48 participating countries.
What is a named driver experience?
This is a discount we offer if you haven't had a policy in your own name before, but have been a named driver on someone else's policy without any claims:
- It works in the same way as a No Claims Bonus, so you get a discount on your premium for your experience.
- To get the discount you must have been named on a private car.
- The end date of the most recent named driving period must be within the last 24 months.
- It must be at least one year, and each year must be a full 12 months.
- This means there must be no more than 24 months in between driving periods and no more than 24 months since you have last been named on a policy.
- For van insurance, you must have been named on a commercial van or truck policy.
- If you qualify for the discount, you'll need to send us proof (a letter from the previous insurance company) once you start your policy.
- Please note that Named Driver Experience earned on a Motorbike, Motor trade or fleet policies cannot be used on a Private Motor policy.
My Named Driving Experience is on a company car, is this accepted?
We accept a named driving discount for company cars as long as the car was specifically for your own use.
If you still work for the company and have the sole use of a car, we cannot accept this company's Car Driving experience.
You will need to provide a letter from the insurance company saying you were named on the policy and there were no claims.
If you were not named on the company policy, you need to provide:
Proof from the company who owned the car that you were the only driver of the car.
Proof from the insurance company or broker that there were no claims.
What if my Named Driving Experience is from outside ROI?
If your Named Driving Experience has been earned outside the Republic of Ireland, it must have been earned in the past 24 months, within the UK, all EU countries, USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
Once we receive proof of your named driving experience, we will contact your last insurer to confirm the document is valid.
We may need your help during this process, so we would request that you assist us with this. For example, we may ask you for contact details for your last insurer. We may also request that you contact your previous insurer to allow us to obtain information on your previous policy.
This process may take some time.
If we are unable to confirm your named driving experience this may result in the removal of your discount, hence your premium may increase.
What do I need to do next?
Once you buy your policy, you will need to provide us with proof of your named driving experience. To do this, you will need to send us a letter from each of your previous insurers to show the period you were a named driver on each policy and prove you were claim-free.
We cannot accept a Certificate of Insurance, proposal form, or Insurance Schedule of Insurance as proof of your named driving experience.
You can email a copy or clear photo of your named driving experience to us. You can contact us here. Remember to reference your policy or reference number clearly in any emails you send to us.
If you earned your Named Driving Experience with RedClick under a previous policy, please contact us to advise.
What is a paperless mandate?
A paperless mandate is where you give your permission for us to collect instalments from your bank account without the need to physically complete a direct debit mandate form and return it to us. A paperless mandate is used to make the process of setting up a direct debit quicker and easier.
If you wish to set up a direct debit using a bank account which is in the name of the policyholder's spouse, civil partner, parent or child, we can still accept the payments, but we will need the account holder to sign a mandate, which we will send to you.
What is a policy excess?
A policy excess is the first amount of any claim you must pay. We pay the balance, up to the applicable limit.
A voluntary excess is an amount you choose to add on top of the standard policy excess that applies to the specific type of claim. Selecting this option helps to reduce the cost of your premium.
If you need to make a claim, you’ll pay the total excess applicable to your policy, depending on the nature of the claim. This is the first part of any claim amount. We then cover the remaining balance, up to the relevant policy limit.
Please refer to your policy schedule for full details of all applicable excesses.
What is covered by accidental damage under my home policy?
Our home insurance includes a standard level of accidental damage cover which provides protection for:
• Breakage of glass
• Damage to underground pipes and cables
• Accidental damage to TVs, audio/visual equipment, and computer devices (Limited to €2000)
However, we do offer optional extra Accidental Damage cover for both buildings and contents. If you choose this optional extra cover, you’ll also be covered for sudden, unexpected damage that is not caused deliberately, for example:
Buildings Insurance:
• Accidentally putting a nail through a pipe
• Drilling into a wall and damaging hidden wiring
Contents Insurance:
• Spilling paint on a carpet
• Knocking over and damaging furniture or ornaments
For full details of what is and isn't covered on your policy please check your policy schedule and your policy booklet.

What is Named Driving Experience?
This is a discount we offer if you haven't had a policy in your own name before, but have been a named driver on someone else's policy without any claims.
Details of Named Driving Experience
- It works in the same way as a No Claims Bonus, so you get a discount on your premium for your experience.
- To get the discount you must have been named on a private car.
- The end date of the most recent named driving period must be within the last 24 months.
- It must be at least one year and each year must be a full 12 months.
- This means there must be no more than 24 months in between driving periods and no more than 24 months since you have last been named on a policy.
- For van insurance, you must have been named on a commercial van or truck policy.
- If you qualify for the discount, you'll need to send us proof (a letter from the previous insurance company) once you start your policy.
- Please note Named Driver Experience earned on motorcycle, motor trade, or fleet policies can't be used on a Private Motor policy.
My Named Driving Experience is on a company car. Is this accepted?
We accept named driving discounts for company cars as long as the car was specifically for your own use.
If you still work for the company and have the sole use of a car, we cannot accept this Company Car Driving experience.
You'll need to provide a letter from the insurance company saying you were named on the policy and there were no claims.
If you were not named on the company policy, you need to provide:
- Proof from the company who owned the car that you were the only driver of the car.
- Proof from the insurance company or broker that there were no claims.
What if my Named Driving Experience is from outside Ireland?
- If your Named Driving Experience has been earned outside the Republic of Ireland, it must have been earned in the past 24 months, within the UK, all EU countries, USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
- Once we receive proof of your Named Driving Experience, we'll contact your last insurer to confirm the document is valid.
- We may need your help during this process, so we would request that you assist us with this. For example, we may ask you for contact details for your last insurer. We may also request that you contact your previous insurer to allow us to obtain information on your previous policy.
- This process may take some time.
- If we're unable to confirm your Named Driving Experience, this may result in the removal of your discount, and your premium may increase.
What do I need to do next?
Once you buy your policy, you'll need to provide us with proof of your Named Driving Experience. To do this, you'll need to send us a letter from each of your previous insurers to show the period you were a named driver on each policy and prove you were claim free.
We cannot accept a Certificate of Insurance, proposal form, or Insurance Schedule of Insurance as proof of your Named Driving Experience.
You can email a copy or clear photo of your Named Driving Experience to us. You can contact us here. Remember to reference your policy or reference number clearly in any emails you send to us.

What is No Claims Bonus Protection?
A No Claims Bonus (or No Claims Discount) is a discount which you earn by holding a policy in your own name without any claims.
Details of a No Claims Bonus
- It builds up in years, so the more years you drive without any claims, the bigger your discount will be, up to a limit of nine years.
- Your No Claims Discount must have been earned on a policy within the past 24 months. To clarify you must have held a policy in your name with your No Claims Bonus obtained within the past 24 months.
- The discount can only be used on one policy and for one person at any one time. This means that if you currently hold another policy which will be remaining active you cannot use the No Claims Bonus from that policy on this one.
- You can use a No Claims Bonus earned on private motor, taxi or commercial policies on your private motor policy.
- To avail of a No Claims Bonus, you must have earned your bonus on a similar policy. For example for No Claims Bonus to be applied on a motorcycle policy, it must have been earned on a motorcycle policy.
- You can use a No Claims Bonus earned on a commercial vehicle or private motor vehicle towards a commercial vehicle policy providing weight of the vehicle does not exceed two tonne carrying capacity.
What if my No Claims Discount is from outside ROI?
If your No Claims Discount has been earned outside the Republic of Ireland, it must have been earned in the past 24 months, within the UK, all EU countries, USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
Please Note:
- Once we receive proof of your No Claims Discount, we will contact your last insurer to confirm the document is valid.
- We may need your help during this process, so we would request that you assist us with this. For example, we may ask you for contact details for your last insurer. We may also request that you contact your previous insurer to allow us to obtain information on your previous policy.
- This process may take some time.
- If we are unable to confirm your No Claims Discount this may result in the removal of your discount, hence your premium may increase.
What do I need to do next?
Once you buy your policy, you will need to provide us with proof of your No Claims Bonus. To do this you will need to send us a copy of your No Claims Bonus Certificate.
Your No Claims Bonus Certificate will be included in your renewal pack from your previous insurer, or you can request it from them if you don’t already have it.
You can email a copy or a clear photo of your certificate to us. Click here to contact us. Remember to add your policy or reference number clearly in any emails you send to us.
If you earned your No Claims Discount with RedClick under a previous policy, please contact us to advise.
What is the difference between Third Party and fully Comprehensive?
Third Party cover provides cover which is required under the RTA and covers the vehicle whilst on a road or in a public place but remaining within the territorial limits. However, it does not cover any damage sustained to the insured vehicle for instance by fire, theft or accidental damage.
Third Party usually covers your legal liability for: Injuries to other people including your passengers or damage to other peoples' property.
Comprehensive cover is Third Party, Fire & Theft plus cover against the loss or damage (accidental or malicious) to the insured vehicle.
What is the IMID?
The Irish Motor Insurance Database (IMID), comprising the Motor Third Party Liability (MTPL) Database and the National Fleet Database (NFD), provides a single point of reference for motor vehicles insured in Ireland. The data in the IMID is provided by motor insurers, brokers, fleet owners and motor traders. The data includes policy holder details, vehicles registration numbers and names of drivers that are permitted to driver the vehicles that are covered by each policy. The IMID is managed by the MIBI and the data is shared with the Department of Transport and An Garda Síochána as set out in Section 78A of the Road Traffic Act.
What is the meaning of fully Comprehensive?
Comprehensive cover is Third Party, Fire & Theft plus cover against the loss or damage (accidental or malicious) to the insured vehicle.
What is the rider skills assessment?

What is underinsurance?
Underinsurance refers to a situation where a property and/or its contents is insured for less than the cost to rebuild, reinstate, or replace them. This usually occurs when rebuild costs or the value of your contents are underestimated on your home insurance policy.
At RedClick, we want to help protect your future by giving you the information you need so that your home is insured correctly.
You can reduce the risk of underinsurance by:
• Making sure your rebuild value is accurate and up to date
• Regularly reviewing the value of your contents, especially after buying new items or making home improvements
• Using reliable tools or professional assessments to estimate costs
For more guidance, visit our underinsurance page or read our articles on "Underinsurance Explained" and our guide on how to calculate your home rebuild costs.

Why do I need to provide Driver Numbers?
It’s all to do with a system called the Irish Motor Insurance Database, which supports the Gardaí in their efforts to detect uninsured drivers. The database contains the records of 3 million vehicles and 5 million drivers and is updated daily. The Gardaí use an app in real time on the roads to scan registration plates. The app checks the information against the database allowing the Gardaí to identify uninsured drivers. The system has already been very successful and will be strengthened by the inclusion of driver numbers on the database. Find out more on Driver Number here.
Why has my premium changed?
The calculation of a premium is the result of a complex interaction between many rating factors. Even though there doesn't appear to be any change in individual circumstances from the time of the previous renewal, some of the ratings change merely through the passing of time (e.g., the age of the policyholder and vehicle) and these factors can contribute to an increase in the premium. There may also have been changes in our approach to pricing the various risk factors or the introduction of a new pricing risk factor, which may then apply to your individual circumstances.
As a concept, insurance works by pooling the funds of many to pay for the claims of a few. Every customer contributes their premium to a larger fund from which we as insurers are able to compensate a customer who has a valid claim, e.g., vehicle damage or an injury to a third party. Therefore, increases in the costs of the total costs of claims and/or the increases in the total number of claims will have a knock-on effect on the overall pool and will result in higher premiums.
Please find below a list of the types of factors – both customer-specific and general – which are most likely to be relevant in explaining any increase in your premium.
Customer-Specific Factors
Some of the customer-specific rating factors which lead to a change in risk and/or our view of that risk are:
Age of Vehicle
The risk changes every year as the vehicle itself is now a year older, potentially putting it into a different rating category.
Type of Vehicle
You may have changed your vehicle in the past year, again potentially putting it into a different rating category. The make and model, engine capacity, weight, fuel type, transmission, safety features and the cost of repairs are among the relevant factors. Also, based on the most recent analysis of claims, pricing models are regularly reviewed and this may result in changes in our approach to pricing various risk factors or introducing new pricing risk factors, which may then apply to you. An example of this would be using fuel type or transmission as a rating factor for the first time. So, ratings may change from being based on engine size/cubic capacity (CC) to brake horse power (BHP) as our view of vehicle technology and engines evolve with the car market.
Named Drivers/“Open Driving”
Any change in the number or circumstances of the drivers named on your policy may affect your premium. Certain driving options like “Open Driving” may result in an increased premium due to the risk associated with such driving options.
Age of Driver
The risk actually changes every year as the drivers are now a year older, potentially putting him/her into a different rating category. Your experience and that of the drivers who may drive your car is one of the main rating factors used by insurers. Statistics show that younger, less experienced drivers are a higher risk (more likely to be involved in accidents and make claims). More experienced drivers will benefit from lower premiums; however, at a point the risk starts to increase again and this is reflected in the pricing of motor insurance. Also, the type of driving licence you hold and the number of years for which it has been held is an indicator of an individual’s driving experience and this is often reflected in your premium as a rating factor.
Location of Risk
The area you live or work in may have a bearing on the cost of your motor insurance. Normally, in areas where the risk of accidents is greater (typically more urban and densely populated areas), you’ll pay more. The same applies if you live somewhere which has high levels of vehicle crime. Insurers may assess each address individually or at an overall county level, looking at claims, traffic, theft and malicious damage statistics together with the frequency of accidents in that area. More accidents tend to result in more claims, so it could cost more to insure vehicles in those areas. Again, we continuously review and analyse relevant data so that even if you have not changed address, our view of this risk factor may have altered since your last renewal.
Occupation
If you use your car for business purposes, you're likely to pay more for cover as you’ll be driving more when the roads are busy. Your annual mileage may also be an important consideration. After all, the more you drive, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident. Also, the nature of your journeys could affect your price. For example, if you use your car to commute to work when traffic is busy, insuring your car may cost more than if you only used your car socially. Again, we continuously review and analyse relevant data so that even if you have not changed job, our view of this risk factor may have altered since your last renewal.
Mid-Term Amendments
If you made a change to the policy during the year (particularly if made towards the end of the term), this is possibly affecting your premium this year. Any mid-term changes will have been charged on a pro-rata basis until renewal, but the new renewal price will have been calculated using the new policy details for a full 12 months.
Loss of No Claims Discount (NCD)
This would be as a result of claim(s) submitted/processed within the past 12 months.
Claims and Convictions
A loading may have been applied to your policy due to the number or severity of claims and/or convictions incurred by you or any person who will drive your vehicle. Claims within the last five years can still affect the premium and multiple claims will attract a higher loading, particularly for the same cause.
Penalty Points
You or any person who will drive the vehicle may have incurred Penalty Points, therefore impacting on the premium.
Payment Method
The payment method used by you may have caused an increase in your premium. For example, if you choose to pay by direct debit, an annual percentage rate may apply.
Regulatory changes
Your renewal premium may also be impacted by new Central Bank regulations effective from July 1st, 2022, which has introduced a ban on price walking (see definition below). This means that, from that date, insurers cannot charge consumers, who are on their second or subsequent renewal with the same insurer, a premium higher than they would charge an equivalent first renewal customer. We have amended our rating to be compliant with these regulations.
Central Bank definition: Price walking is where you are charged a higher premium the longer you remain with your insurer, and for no reason other than staying with the same provider
External Factors
External factors are those costs which affect the cost and number of the claims we have to pay. The cost of paying claims is the single largest factor which contributes to your premium. Given that the cost of claims is the most significant cost associated with insurance, it's vital that insurers set premiums which are sufficient to meet these costs so the business is sustainable and that we are there to pay claims for our customers in the long term.
The main components of the total cost of claims are:
- The size of awards for injury claims and medical inflation.
- Legal costs associated with handling claims.
- Cost of parts.
- Labour for repairs.
We hope that you find this information useful. However, if you believe that you require more information in relation to the price of your premium renewal, you can contact us here.
Why has the log in process to the Document Portal changed?
To ensure the safety and security of your information, we have upgraded the requirements to access your information. This additional level of security will continue to keep your personal information safe and secure.

You must have a Republic of Ireland mobile phone number to receive the one-time passcode by SMS. If you are having trouble receiving the SMS or if you need to update the phone number, please call us on 01 553 4040.
Why was MFA added?
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) was added to enhance security and protect your personal information.
Why won't my one time password (OTP) work?
The one time password is valid for 30 minutes. If this time has passed, you can request a new one through the Documents Portal. If you are still unable to access the portal, please contact us.
Why would I need a Green Card?
- A Green Card is currently a legal requirement if you are driving in any country that does not belong to the Green Card system;
- You won't need it to drive in Great Britain or Northern Ireland.
Will the contents of my vehicle be covered?
The car or van's stereo, sat nav, or other radio equipment will be covered up to €635 or 5% of the market vehicle value (whichever is lower) provided they're permanently fixed to the vehicle.
Personal possessions such as handbags, mobile phones, laptops, shopping, etc., are not covered, so please do not leave them in your car.
