Insurance from real people

From the age of paper files through computerisation, social media and AI, retention of human presence, efficiency and courtesy sets Denise and the McCarthy Insurance Group team ahead of the rest.

My Mother was looking to change her car…

My Mother was looking to change her car insurance provider in order to get a better deal. We got in touch with Diane Roche MIG Fermoy, she was so helpful and was so kind to my Mum, she made the whole experience seamless, and has been so accessible if my Mum needs to ask anything. We would definitely recommend taking to Diane in MIG if you want the human touch and not a robotic automated response. Thanks again Diane.

Dependable and affordable

I have been going to McCarthys Ins for a few years now and I am more than happy with them.
I check the comparison websites every year and McCarthys have always been as good, if not better with their quotes.
Also they are very helpful when you need to claim on your insurance

Insurance made easy

I received the insurance documents with plenty of time to peruse them. I requested some help to make the decision and was ably assisted by a very helpful person.

Thoroughly professional staff

We had to make several changes to our insurance policies for both existing and new vehicles, and the service we received was exceptional. Audrey at reception recognised my voice every time I called, which added such a personal touch. Annemarie, our advisor, was incredibly helpful and efficient, taking the time to explain everything in detail. Both staff members were thoroughly professional. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them.

5 Stars just isn't enough

Absolutely outstanding service ,Anne Marie Sheehan in the Tralee branch is a credit to the store.She went above and beyond to find the best insurance cover for what wasn't straight forward.

Helpful guidelines

What I liked was that I got a breakdown and a comparison of the different policies, making it easier for me to decide which policy suited my needs.

Have used the Rathmohre office yes for years…

Have used the Rathmore office for years because of the great service you receive either in person or over the phone, the girls always get me a good quote, I'd definitely recommend especially for first time insurance quotes,my son uses them as well as a learner and now as a qualified driver and he gets much better quotes than some of his friends.

Satisfied Customer

I have had all my motor, house and farm insurance firstly with Miller Carroll and continuing on now with Mc Carthy’s since 1986.
There are many reasons for this loyalty but the main reason being the staff in Charleville as the first person I met was Catherine Fisher who is still there along with all the other employees, with nearly all having long years service given at this point in time.
It is no doubt a great sign of the business to have such loyal and knowledgeable staff for so long.
I have always been made welcome and I have total respect and confidence in all my dealings in Charleville
I know that I am properly insured in all aspects and at a competitive price also.
If there are questions to be asked all are very knowledgable and helpful which ultimately gives me great assurance and peace of mind.
John Sheehan.
