Ireland - What’s the point

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   On returning to Dublin from the UK recently I thought nothing of bringing my '88 BMW 635csi Highline until I investigated the cost of insurance and road tax. I would probably only put about 2,000 miles a year on the car but still would have to shell out two and a half thousand euros on insurance and over a thousand on tax. This is ridiculous. The car is currently off the road until I decide what to do. 
If anyone know of any reasonable, understanding insurance schemes I would be very grateful to hear about them.

	I've heard it's extortionate but that's a serious amount of money. Are you working over there or have you moved from the UK?

	You need to ring all companies in the golden pages. I renewed the insurance on my 320i recently and came out smiling... see here
