Northern Ireland car
insurance is among the most expensive in the world. There are four
main reasons why this price anomoly exists:-
- Large numbers of road
accident claims against Northern Ireland car insurance.
- There are larger payouts
for personal injury than typically in the rest of the UK.
- There is a lack of
competition in the local car insurance market.
- Large amounts of car
theft in Northern Ireland.
The good news is that more
insurance companies are entering the Northern Ireland car insurance
market every year as they worry less about 'the troubles' and start
to understand the risks and nuances of the local market. This competition
is driving the price of insurance in the province down.
