This Is How Much It Costs To Drive A Car In Ireland For A Year

clodagh

Driving, while great for your independence, is an expensive life skill.

From insurance to petrol to merely getting your licence in the first place, the costs add up.

And according to AA Roadwatch’s most recent survey, the costs add up high.

The average cost for running a car in Ireland in 2017 is €10,671.37.

While this may seem like a lot, you’ll be glad to know that this is actually a decrease on costs from last year – a whole  €178.05 or 1.6% down from last year’s figure. 

Yay (!)

So, maybe this is a sign that things are going to slowly get cheaper?

Well, we can live in hope.
