Many people who go on holiday to beautiful Ireland tend to think that because it is just a short hop across the water, they do not need to get holiday insurance or car breakdown insurance, which can be a mistake which many people find out to their cost.
Just because Ireland is our close neighbour it does not mean that we should not take precautions and although, it is pretty true that we are unlike to get struck down by malaria or eaten by a lion, accidents or even just breakdowns can happen on our holiday and we should make sure that we are covered.
Many people fail to even service the car properly on their car journey back to Ireland added to the fact that they are driving many more miles around the place seeing the sights.
There are some very rural areas in Ireland and if you end up breaking down in the country it could be costly to get towed back to town where you can get the repairs done.
Yes, you are less likely to come across any mishaps in this country, but it still pays to be prepared and assume the worst. You will have less experience of driving there than at home and it always pays to be covered for as many risks as possible.
