No - at present, its4women does not provide van insurance in Galway or elsewhere in Ireland. 

Yes - you can use your No Claim Bonus (NCB) when taking out a Galway motor insurance policy, provided it meets verification requirements. NCBs from Ireland or the UK are accepted, and the discount depends on the number of claim-free years on your policy. 

You can log in to your online its4women portal to access all documents related to your policy in the “My Documents” section under “Manage My Policy.”  

If you need help understanding your policy conditions, our helpful customer support team is available by phone or online - ensuring you get the information you need. 

Yes - if your vehicle is legally required to undergo the National Car Test (NCT), it must have passed the test and hold a current NCT certificate to remain fully insured. Driving without a current NCT certificate may affect your car insurance cover, including eligibility for a policy and how claims are assessed. 

While Galway car insurance provides cover across Ireland and, in many cases, wider EU territories, your vehicle must still comply with Irish road safety laws including NCT requirements for your cover to remain valid. 

To complete a quote for car insurance in Galway you’ll need your driving licence, your vehicle registration number and any required supporting information. Once your policy is active, all of your insurance policy documents are stored securely in your online portal on its4women.ie for quick and easy access. 

Yes - most its4women Galway car insurance policies include cover for personal belongings that are lost or damaged inside your insured vehicle, subject to the policy’s specified limits. Always check your motor insurance policy documents for full details, including what’s covered and any exclusions. 

Breakdown assistance is available as an optional add-on to our Galway car insurance policies. This cover can include help with flat batteries, roadside repairs, towing and vehicle recovery across Galway and throughout the EU. 

Please note, the level of breakdown cover varies by policy, so it’s important to check your quote or motor insurance policy documents to see the exact level of cover included. 

Yes - you can add a named driver to your Galway motor insurance policy, provided they meet our acceptance criteria. Adding an experienced driver may sometimes reduce your premium, particularly for younger or less experienced motorists.  

 Your final premium will depend on a range of factors, including driver age, driving history and overall risk profile, so adding a named driver may or may not result in a cost reduction depending on your circumstances. 

Comprehensive car insurance offers the highest level of protection. It covers accidental damage to your own car (even if you’re at fault), as well as fire, theft, vandalism and damage to other vehicles or property. This type of cover is often chosen by drivers in Galway City, where busy roads, tight parking spaces and higher traffic volumes can increase the likelihood of minor incidents.  

 Third party fire and theft provides a more limited level of cover. It includes protection against fire damage and theft, along with cover for damage you cause to someone else’s vehicle or property, but it does not cover accidental damage to your own car.  

At its4women our Galway motor policies come with both comprehensive cover and third party fire and theft built in. 

Penalty points may increase your car insurance premium because insurers view them as a sign of higher driving risk. In Galway, where traffic levels, road types and accident rates vary significantly across areas such as Galway City, Oranmore, Tuam and Loughrea, insurers may pay close attention to your driving record when calculating your premium. 

Drivers with zero penalty points may receive lower motor insurance rates, while those with multiple points may face higher premiums or fewer insurer options. The type of offence that led to the penalty points can also influence pricing, as insurers assess whether the behaviour is likely to increase future risk. 

Keeping a clean driving licence is one of the most effective ways to secure cheap car insurance in Galway, particularly for younger or less experienced drivers.

Yes - its4women provides car insurance for both hybrid and fully electric vehicles across Galway city and county, including popular EV brands such as Tesla and many other makes and models. Whether you use your car for city commuting or longer journeys across the county, you can choose flexible cover to suit how you drive. 

As with any car, your premium will depend on factors such as your driving history, the vehicle’s make and model, and how you use your car day to day. If you’re switching to an electric or hybrid vehicle, its4women offers flexible and competitive car insurance options for EV and hybrid drivers throughout Galway.

Yes - young and first-time driver insurance is available in Galway. Premiums depend on factors such as age, licence type, driving experience, the car’s make and model, and overall risk profile. Smaller, lower-powered cars often fall into lower insurance groups and may be more affordable for young and new drivers to insure when taking out car insurance in Galway. 

its4women also offers telematics (black box) car insurance in Galway, designed to encourage safe driving habits among young and first-time drivers. By monitoring driving behaviour, safer driving may, over time, help to reduce car insurance premiums.

Car insurance can be slightly more expensive in certain parts of Galway due to local traffic levels, accident rates and claim patterns. Areas such as Galway City, Salthill, Rahoon, Oranmore, Knocknacarra, Tuam and Loughrea all have different risk profiles that insurers take into account. 

At its4women, we assess these factors fairly and work to keep premiums competitive for drivers across all of Galway City and County. 

Yes - car insurance is a legal requirement for anyone who owns or drives a vehicle in Galway and anywhere else in Ireland. To drive on public roads, you must have a valid motor insurance policy in place, with third party insurance being the minimum level of cover required by law. 

Car insurance helps protect you financially if your vehicle is damaged or stolen and covers your liability to others in the event of an accident. Drivers can choose from different types of policies / levels of cover, including comprehensive, third party, and third party fire and theft, depending on their needs and budget. 

Insurance premiums are influenced by factors such as your driving history, vehicle type and where you live. All motor insurers in Ireland are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, giving drivers confidence that policies meet national standards for consumer protection. 

Anyone aged 17 or over with the correct driving licence can legally drive a car, but the vehicle must be properly insured before doing so.
