Kerry Beckett, marketing manager at MCL Insurance Services (Ireland) Ltd, commented: “We are very excited about the launch of what is our fourth online car insurance product and one which allows us to compete in the mainstream car insurance arena in Ireland.

“GetSetGo is launched during a time when the world has had to fast-track its familiarity with working, living and playing online during the pandemic. A lot of drivers have been doing many things virtually throughout the past year making a product like GetSetGo a less daunting experience and something to be embraced for its convenience.

“We are confident that our product will resonate with many drivers and look forward to developing the brand and welcoming up to 50 new people to our team as we grow.”

MCL says it handles c.€60m of gross written premium through insurers such as AIG and says it has c.90,000 customers on the island of Ireland.

Its telematics brand, BoxyMo, rewards better driving and offers younger drivers more competitive insurance.
