Fantastic service…

Just used yourselves for my daughter and my car. My husband has been using for a while now and we regret not doing this sooner. They are excellent and biggest bonus was they came up cheaper than all others. We will continue now to use you. Service and helpfulness and professionalism combined with friendly can’t really say anymore.

Creative Packaging for special ex-pat Insurance needs

Michaela from MIG had a solution for my car and holiday home package that my previous broker and others I shopped could not find. They obviously can cater to unique needs and must have in place underwriting agreements others do not.

Always remarkably good to deal with

Remarkably good service. Talking to Cian just now and had to do another review here afterwards. 
We’ve got three cars and our house with these guys because they are really competitive on price,really knowledgeable about the pros and cons of different insurance offers,you are never rushed so they are real easy to deal with.
Minimum wait on the phone, unfailingly patient polite even when you have only half of your information. 😀😀

Car Insurance for Returned Emigrant

As a returning emigrant after nearly thirty years in the US, I was worried about securing car insurance. McCarthy Insurance Group, and specifically Grainne Lambe, made this a worry-free experience with excellent contactability, wonderful customer service, and reasonable rates. I would not hesitate to recommend Grainne, and McCarthy Insurance Group for your insurance needs.

McCarthy's Insurance Tralee

I've been with McCarthy's for a number of years now, and always trust them. Cian in the Tralee office was very helpful in securing the best deal for me. He was really friendly on the phone and got everything done very quickly. Would recommend every time.

Huge savings

Health insurance policies are very difficult to navigate, Alan did a great job sending me the relevant information by post which made making the decision much easier and I saved a lot of money by switching from the same vendor that I was with for 12 years because I always seen it as too difficult to change. The increases in price over the past few years have left no choice but to change.
