Car insurance cost..............
« on: August 24, 2024, 15:22 »
.........as you get older. I just have a run-of-the-mill Vauxhall Meriva 1.7 diesel and have never made a claim in the 62 years I've been driving. My insurance costs had been creeping up over the last few years but I just put it down to risks being higher as we get older (I'm 82) and accepted it. Yesterday I got my latest quote and the premium had increased by nearly £100. I thought "no way", phoned them up and told them where to stick the increase. Less than an hour later they called me, the premium for exactly the same cover had miraculously reduced by £80.

Anyone else amongst us oldies experienced similar?

Martin Lewis recommends phoning your insurance company 13-14 days before the due date and negotiate a reduction. 

It always works for us!

Interesting information at: https://www.abi.org.uk/products-and-issues/choosing-the-right-insurance/motor-insurance/age-and-motor-insurance/

As always, shop around using a couple of comparison websites. You might save by having "black box" insurance.
