Advice re change of address and insurance

dudara

I'm moving to Dublin shortly from Cork, and will be bringing my car with me. The car and insurance are registered to my address in Cork, but do you think there will be any increase in my insurance if I change the policy to my new address in Dublin.

I know that this is the right thing to do, but will I be financially penalised for doing it?

I'd imagine there will be a slight increase, having said that - Cork is just as big and prone to accidents/theft/damage as much as Dublin.

When I moved into my own place and out of my parents - there was a €145 difference (12miles away!). Obviously my neighbourhood is rated slightly higher regarding crime or I'm at more risk as I am closer to city centre.

Call them to find out, it is the right thing to do because you don't want any doubt cast over your insurance come the day you may need it.

I suppose that's what I'll just have to do. I don't want to be caught out in case I ever have to make a claim.
