14 February 2019

14 Feb 2019 According to an Irish study, people who shop around for insurance can make some very big savings – up to €1,249 for some motorists buying a new policy*. However, hundreds of thousands of Irish drivers and home owners forego this opportunity because they fail to fully appreciate the potential for savings on their car or home insurance or because of the hassle of switching providers.

That could be about to change however, thanks to a new initiative from Post Insurance.  The insurance intermediary – a wholly owned subsidiary of An Post – is encouraging Irish drivers and home owners to provide their insurance renewal dates in return for:
 

• Financial support for their local Post Office: Where you provide your renewal details to a Post Office, Post Insurance will take the renewal details supplied and contact customers for a quote.All quotes completed by Post Insurance from these referrals will generate commission payments directly to your preferred local Post Office; no policy purchase is necessary for your Post Office to benefit. Additional commission is also payable for any of these policy quotes that are purchased by customers.

 

• A chance to win a €5,000 holiday voucher† – allowing you and your loved ones to take your dream holiday
