    If your husband has been driving for so long, he should be pretty competent as a driver.

    Even though he needs to get a learners permit and do the 12 EDT lessons, according to info from other threads here, he should not need to wait the minimum 6 months before applying for a test.

    Might be worthwhile getting the permit, ploughing through the lessons and straight onto the test as soon as he can?

    The insurers only care about whether or not the driver has a full license. With the permit, he'd need to be accompanied, so there'll be little point in buying a car. There'll be a huge outlay on the insurance. Is it really needed?

    An instructor would provide a car for lessons.

    If renting for a test, you'll need a declaration for the leasing company about whether or not its permitted to be used in a test.

    Liberty insured me on my full US license, even before I got my Irish learner's permit, and accepted my no-claims history from my US insurer, so my premium ended up being about 800/yr for a 2006 1.6l VW Golf. I had to do the legwork to get the required documentation and get my US insurer to communicate with Liberty, though. Keep in mind that they probably won't renew after the first year unless he has a full Irish license, though, as you're only supposed to use your US license here for 12 months.

    Definitely call around via phone; you won't get any quotes online for his situation.

    In cases like this an insurance broker is your best bet.
