There are numerous reasons why you should choose Sterling NI for your car insurance:

All types of vehicles covered

Whether you own a Hyundai Tucson, a Ford Puma, a VW Polo, or any of the other multitude of cars available in Northern Ireland, we can find cover that suits your needs.

Cover in all parts of Northern Ireland

We cover all areas of Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Derry, Craigavon, Bangor, Lisburn, Castlereagh, Ballymena, Armagh, Carrickfergus, and more.

Legal protection included

Our legal cover is a standard part of our car insurance policies. If you’re ever involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, this can help you recover any out-of-pocket expenses.

Cover for the rest of the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and other parts of Europe

If you regularly venture outside of Northern Ireland, we can cover you in the rest of the UK as well as Europe and other parts of the world. Most policies include up to 90 days in Europe, but we can also add European cover if you want to be covered for longer trips.

Protected no claims bonus

We can protect your no claims bonus, so even if you do need to make a claim, your discount remains the same.

Sterling NI’s claim line is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you need to make a claim, we’re here to take your call.

Which type of insurance should I get?​

Fully comprehensive

This is the highest level of protection you can get and protects your vehicle regardless of who is at fault. It can often be more competitively priced than the lower levels of cover on offer, so it’s always worth getting a quote.

Third-party, fire and theft

This covers damage to other people, their cars and their property, as well as your vehicle in the event it gets stolen or damaged by fire.

Third-party only

This will only cover damage to other people, their car, or their property in the event of an incident. This cover is the minimum level of cover you can get.

Frequently asked questions

How much is car insurance in NI?

The cost of your car insurance depends on many different factors, including the type of vehicle you drive, your driving history, and how you use your car.

The easiest way to find out how much your insurance premium will be is to call us for a quote. As an insurance broker, we’re on your side and no one else’s. We ask the right questions to better understand your needs, and compare policies to find one that’s right for you.

Is car insurance more expensive in Northern Ireland?

When it comes to car insurance premiums, Northern Ireland residents do tend to get the short end of the stick, with many facing higher insurance costs compared to their British counterparts.

This is because of a multitude of reasons. For example, not as many insurance providers operate in Northern Ireland as in other parts of the UK. There is also a higher proportion of younger drivers on NI roads, which tends to skew the average Northern Ireland car insurance costs.

Which type of car insurance is the most affordable?

Although many believe that third party only cover is usually the most cost-effective option, contrary to popular belief, fully comprehensive cover is often the most affordable type of cover. In general, people taking out fully comp insurance are less likely to get into an accident than those taking out lower levels of cover.

Can I insure multiple cars?

Yes, let us know a little about the cars you drive and we should be able to help you find cover for them all. We can offer discounts if you cover multiple vehicles with us.

Do you do any other types of insurance?

We cover a variety of vehicles in Northern Ireland, including classic cars, vans for private and commercial use, modified cars, and more. If you aren’t sure whether we can cover your vehicle, call us and we can look into your case.
