    Hi,

    Just asking for a friend of mine who is planning to live in Ireland for the foreseeable future and would like to get insured in a car over here.

    She is Australian, 27 years old, 7-8 years named driver experience in Australia, never insured on her own individual policy and as with 90 percent of aussies, she only has a license to drive automatic :pac:

    Anyway, what would she be looking at for a TPFT premium here in Ireland? Probably start off on a 1.2L but had been driving a 1.4L Corolla in Oz so will want a 1.4L eventually.

    I'm also assuming there's no insurance company that WON'T take her on unless there's some policy regarding non-EUs that I'm not aware of!

    Thanks for any suggestions/answers in advance :)

    She can transfer her license for an Irish license afaik but in terms of insurance will be starting from the bottom of the ladder. No NCB, no insurance experience; first couple of years are going to be expensive.

    How long is a piece of string?
    It's impossible to guess the price but at her age it shouldn't be too bad.
    Only thing you could do to get an idea is call up an insurance company and find out how much it would cost you with a full licence but no driving experience.

    Any recommendations on insurers for female drivers or are they all pretty much the same? Axa seem to be the go to company at the moment but I myself have switched companies every few years and am now with Zurich

    Male or Female doesn't make any difference these days. The other criteria such as age, licence, vehicle etc are only considered
