WHY WE STARTED
One of the most important financial products you’ll ever buy
Life insurance is one of the most important financial products you’ll ever buy — and one of the most confusing to shop for.
Prices for identical cover can vary dramatically between insurers. But comparing them yourself means filling in the same form five times, fielding five sales calls, and trying to decode five different sets of small print. So most people don’t bother. They take the first quote they’re offered — usually from their bank — and quietly overpay for years.
We built CompareLifeInsurance.ie to fix that. One short assessment, every insurer in the Irish market compared, and a personalised quote from a regulated advisor. Free, fast, and with zero pressure.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS ABOUT WHO WE ARE
Who we are
What we do
We’re a comparison service. We take your details through our free online assessment and connect you with financial advisors regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Those advisors compare quotes from every life insurer in the market and come back to you with your best options.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell insurance, we don’t give financial advice, and we’re not a regulated financial services provider ourselves. All advice and quotes come from our regulated advisor partners — that’s their job, and they’re accountable to the Central Bank for doing it properly.
Why it’s set up this way
It means you get the best of both: the speed and simplicity of an online comparison, and the protection and expertise of fully regulated financial advice.
TRANSPARENCY MATTERS
How we make money
Our service is completely free for you — no fees for the assessment, the quotes, or the consultation. If you decide to take out a policy, the advisor receives a commission from the insurer. That commission never increases your premium, and it’s how virtually all life insurance is distributed in Ireland — whether you buy through a broker, a bank, or a comparison service.
The difference with us: because our partners compare the whole market rather than pushing one insurer’s products, their incentive is to find you cover you’ll actually keep.
100% FREE QUOTE & ADVICE
Three things you can hold us to
1. Whole-of-market, every time
Every quote comparison covers every life insurer in the Irish market. You’ll never be shown a shortlist that suits us rather than you.
2. Free means free
No fees. No charges. No obligation. If you take the quote and walk away, that’s completely fine.
3. Regulated advice only
You will only ever be contacted by advisors regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. No exceptions.
