Car Insurance for over 75

I agree with the phone call but be aware Tescos charge £25 to speak to someone!

Martin Lewis confirms car insurance has risen by 61%.

I have found Saga to be very helpful - like you my premium had doubled when it became due last month. I use their 3 year policy, if no claims etc are made the premium stays the same for the 3 years. I have renewed again for the next 3 years (I'm in my eighties) When I 'phoned to update my details the person I spoke to asked various questions and I ended up with a very good discount! I do add my son and daughter in law to the policy which does lower the cost. Its worth a 'phone call.

I should say I am paying just under £600 a year for a 2 year old Electric Mini.

Surely it depends on the value of your car plus optional extra covers?
Tescos is very good.

OH and I (both 79) have just insured a new Ford Puma for £387 fully comp, legal cover, courtesy car, protected No Claims with AXA. I did it through Compare the Market. The whole process was very efficient, they are sending all documentation without me having to print it for once! So far, so good.

Mine increased by only a few pounds, about £7 I think. I did check with one other company but decided not to spend any more time searching, for such a small increase, breaking the trend.

Who are you insured with Cabbie21? I am not renewing with my current insurers as they have quoted over double what I paid last year. Will now look for an alternative! 🥱

Cabbie21 do tell, who do you insure with? Mine has gone up by 57%

I had quotes quadruple the amount I paid last Year.
No claims, no changes. Clean licence.
Be prepared. I wondered if it was because I am 75.

I don't think its age discrimination as such...car insurance has increased loads for everyone this year ...me ( late 50s) ....my children ( 32 and 29) and my brother 48

It also depends on where you live, what car you drive and your mileage. I am 80 and I renewed my imsurance a couple of months ago for around £550. This did require a change of insurer.

Insurance cost have increased a lot mine was double this year

It’s under Legal & Pensiona in Chat.

There’s another long thread about this Jjan1. Premiums have risen substantially for all age groups - cost of spare parts, uninsured drivers, etc
There were some hints on the other thread you might find useful.

Brokers have to take their share.

Have you tried London Victoria or Saga?
