Enter details on either or both Confused.com or comparethemarket.com or one of the many comparison sites. I ended up with the AA at £277 comp plus a £20 gift voucher. Age 77 to include spouse and 15plus years ncd. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

That seems expensive insurance, but I think premiums go up when you are over 70.

Just tried Aviva Direct online and they quoted £757 FFS! I've decided to stop being a good example and will now just be a terrible warning.....

Just renewed my i6 with Direct line for £257.00 I'm 65 with full no claims, clean license, 10,000 miles, parked on drive on the outskirts of large city. £290 more seems like a right rip off. Common sense isn't very common.

Glassman - why not use comparison websites as I've detailed above. I reiterate, I'm the same age as you live just outside of Stroud (Gloucestershire)and renewed last month at £277. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I would echo Tenets advice . I’ve just insured my new car . The broker that I’ve extolled before as great , friendly , best to deal with , apparently wanted to rob me blind ! Adding £250 to a quote I received last month ! In the end I received a great quotation from LV ! who knows what algorithms these companies use when quoting insurance . I thought quoting better rates for new customers had ended , but to me it still seems the only thing to do is put a day aside every year , hit the comparison sites , hit the direct insurers . The one thing about being retired is having the time to do that . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

I seem to have the most expensive policy invented with a Saga Plus - £876.

Unfortunately after giving up her own car several years ago and not wishing to drive, my wife allowed her licence to lapse. Mowog - You are right, I will be spending a bit of time investigating some other providers this year. This year the the premium change was sprung on me after I changed my wife's status on the policy. Thanks for the replies.

Saga has undoubtedly got the best policy on the market . However the company has gone down hill rapidly since it was floated on the stock market share price fallen by 90% . I’ve still got shares in it , but only so I can write off the huge losses against new capital gains . The demise started with a new CEO called Lance Bachelor and hasn’t stopped . They have sold one of their tailor made holiday companies , they are trying to sell off their insurance business , one bidder an Aussie company has just pulled out . Their two new cruise ships have to be paid for and massive finance was put in place to keep them sitting there through Covid , they’ve only just started in earnest .
