We're Human About Car Insurance
Cars can be complicated, but car insurance doesn't have to be. An Post Insurance is a 100% Irish-owned company, so we understand what matters most to you.
Our Cover Options
We're often asked about the differences between Comprehensive or Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance. Both offer protection and peace of mind, but you might prefer one or the other, depending on your situation. The cost of car insurance may also be a factor. We've outlined our great range of policy options below, so you can choose the cover that's right for you.
Please refer to our policy booklets for full cover details and terms and conditions that apply. Discounts, cover limits, and terms and conditions are dependent on your car insurance underwriter and those applicable to you will be outlined in your policy documents.
Up to 75%* No Claims Discount
On your Car Insurance, if claims free for 5 years.
*Of the three car insurance providers available to An Post Insurance customers, this discount is available on policies provided by FBD Insurance plc only. Minimum premium of €355 or €345, depending on the policy underwriter for car insurance.Car Insurance Features and Benefits
You're unique, so your car insurance should be too. We've partnered with a range of providers so you can choose the policy and benefits that work best for you. You can even upgrade your policy with some of our optional extras such as Open Drive or Key Care Cover (4), for added peace of mind.
Learn more about our car insurance features and benefits in our Help Centre.
Help is just a phone call away with our 24 Hour Breakdown Assistance service, available in Ireland and the UK (5).
We know how important your No Claims Discount is, so you won't lose your discount for fire, theft or attempted theft, or windscreen claims. You can add an optional extra to fully protect your No Claims Bonus at an additional charge (6).
Make sure you can see clearly with unlimited windscreen cover when you use our insurers' aligned repairer network (7).
Our insurers offer a discount to drivers and named drivers who have appropriate licences and haven't incurred penalty points for driving offences in the Republic of Ireland (8).
4) These options are subject to an additional charge; it is not necessary to purchase these upgrades in order to purchase the policy. Open Drive is subject to driver/vehicle eligibility criteria and restrictions may apply. Key Cover is administered by Keycare Assistance Limited and underwritten by MAPFRE ASISTENCIA Compania Internacional De Seguros Y Reaseguros, S.A., trading as MAPFRE ASSISTANCE Agency Ireland. This cover is available as an optional extra at a charge of €12.60 (incl. government levy) per policy.
5) If you break down at home, at work or even at the side of the road, a competent repairer will be sent to assist you with your car's recovery and we'll cover the cost of the first hour's labour. If the car is not drivable due to a mechanical fault, you will be covered for the cost of towing your car to the nearest garage or to your own garage, whichever is closest. The driver must stay with the car while the work is carried out.
6) You can make two unlimited claims within a three year period on your car insurance policy without losing your No Claims Bonus. The number of claims free years you hold will determine if you are eligible to purchase this optional extra with each of our car insurance underwriters.

It was very easy to follow online to complete my Insurance and when I had to ring to ask some questions they were very helpful. I’m not very good with technology and they made it very easy for me to follow the steps I needed to complete my form. Would definitely recommend to friends. Great value for money. Susan 29.08.2023
