The support group Diabetes Ireland has launched a new private motor insurance scheme, enabling people with diabetes and their families to switch insurer more easily and without the requirement of a medical report from their GP.

The Private Motor Car Insurance Scheme is available to all Diabetes Ireland members and offers preferential competitive rates for people living with the condition, without incurring additional medical examination fees each time they start a new policy.

Commenting on the new scheme, CEO of Diabetes Ireland Kieran O'Leary said people with diabetes tend to stay with the same insurance provider year on year as it is a hassle getting a medical report from your GP stating your fitness to drive. "With this scheme they will now have a hassle-free competitive choice".

The scheme is open to all Diabetes Ireland members and will factor in all the normal benefits applicants would expect from their motor insurance policy.

The new scheme is being run in partnership with Zurich Insurance and ERM Financial Services
