Insurance for Au Pair

reefbreakbda

Looking forward to having help around the house so I can work...

Seems the only disadvantage (I can think of) to being a 24 year old spanish girl, is FBD want nearly 2 grand to insurer her to drive.

Anyone know of any cute, but legit, angles to try to do this a bit cheaper!

Want to buy a little 1.0 car rather than add onto my own insurance.

The 2 grand quote was us insuring another car for us and adding her as a named driver.

Thanks...

you may be stuck with that, insurance at 24 with no previous history in ireland will be expensive

Does she have a full licence?

You'd have to pay an Irish person.

Not as much as 2000 euro though?

Would the 24 year old not be cute enough ?

Anyway, I assume she wont be there full time. If thats the case, you can reclaim any unused premium when she goes home.

Other than that, there is no way of getting a cheaper premium short of shopping around.

Or getting her a nice push bike. One with flowers on it. And a basket perhaps. :cool:

If it was me then I'd have no issues with driving her to wherever she had to go. I dont have kids though so that might be a bit odd.

Ken.

Lets start a bidding war. For €1,900 i'll drive your au-pair around for the few months she's here.

reefbreakbda

youz are funny!

Most Au Pair types want to go somewhere else (can you blame them) so the Irish ones are probably in spain.

May insure her until she's 25 in December then try some sort of open driving number.

Yes a full licence for 6 years. and cute, but don't think that counts for much.

Oh, one bus a week in outer Kerry..

You'd pay 1900 to drive an Au Pair around ?

Umm, if I tan myself up and wear a wig will you pay me to take me to work and back ?

Maybe she can bring her own car from Spain?
She won't be here that long, and by this most likely won't be considered resident.
Insurance and other staff on Spanish car will be much cheaper.

Cheer up OP - someone on this forum had a worse problem when it came to getting his American Au Pair driving - she arrived but said '' Oh Gee , I can't drive stick shift '' .
He had to fork out 4,000 for an automatic for her :rolleyes:

Hiace.

Crikey, how long is she staying, you could nearly long term hire a car for that.

99.999% of Spanish au pairs in Ireland do not have their own car in Spain

Are you yoking? A full time au pair costs about €5k per year and you have to provide board (which will cost you very little). An Irish employee at the minimum wage costs €18k per year and I'm not even taking into account employers taxes / prsi etc.

Sounds more like his fault for assuming that someone from a country where 99% of people learn in and then drive automatic transmissions would know how to drive a manual :rolleyes:

So many inuendo's

Must resist.

2k is still a lot to be paying to allow her drive your motor. Especially as a named driver.

Surely her Spanish NCB would stand to her ?

If you have a good motor I wouldn't insure here 3rd party.

Fully comp in case your car is fished out of a wall somewhere in kerry.

Its going to be expensive no matter what, just keep hunting around.
