My car insurance has just gone from £500 to £700 I think because I turn 84 this year? Wendy is named driver but is not quite 80 yet so it is just my age causing rise in premium. My insurance company knows I have no history of accidents for over 40 years now with them.
Insurance has gone up 30-40% this year. My existing insurer declined to quote this year. So I did a new quote excluding Jan as a named driver. they quoted this time and it came back significantly lower. The only explanation could be was they didn't want an 80+ named driver.
There is no doubt the number of insurers prepared to quote, drop off the older you get. I struggled to get my Dad car insurance over 90.
