Great service

I received quick feedback and prompt responses to my emails. The agent listened to my needs and provided us with quotes that will fit those needs. He was open and approachable to any questions I had.

Alan Cleary was most helpful

Alan Cleary was most helpful. He provided clear, concise information in a very timely manner. He made switching health insurance cover so easy. I will definitely be coming back to look at further insurance cover from here.

Health Insurance renewal

Alan Cleary provided excellent service in reviewing my current health insurance and identifying better options for me and my family at reduced cost with better cover. Alan was readily available to answer questions though emails and calls and ensured I had the correct cover for each family member before proceeding. The process was seamless and I was extremely happy with the service. Thanks again Alan.

My experience with McCarthy Insurance…

My experience with McCarthy Insurance Group was excellent. I received a better price and better service. I had the pleasure of dealing with Grainne Lambe. Grainne was very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Grainne was prompt in her responses and arranged both my car and house insurance in a few days.
Grainne went above and beyond trying to help me. Would highly recommend.
I will definitely be using McCarthy Insurance Group next year!

Very efficient service

From the time that I first contacted McCarthy Insurance Group, they were extremely efficient in passing on my query to Alan Cleary on the Health Insurance Team who rang me back very promptly. Alan was very helpful to me from the outset when I explained that I was researching health insurance for my mother.

Customer Service

I have dealt with McCarthy Insurance for many years but have specifically dealt with Michaela since January 2023. Michaela is the definition of customer service and I can only say that she has been of huge assistance to me. All queries are promptly answered and I have always felt that she does her absolute best for me. Dealing with someone like Michaela is the reason that I prefer to use a broker for my insurance needs.
