Car Insurance for over 80's

michellemybelle

I've been looking for some new car insurance for my dad aged 82. Does anyone know what companies insure this age group. I tried loads and after putting all his info on they dont tell you to the end they dont insure over 80's. One that I could do through Quidco would be good as well!

There are 3 major players in the over 80's insurance sector:

Saga (underwritten by Saga Insurance Co Ltd, based in Gibraltar)
RIAS (underwritten by Fortis who are thought to be in financial trouble)
Age Concern (also underwritten by Fortis)

All 3 have websites, so you can get a quote for your dad on line and see which is best. I've checked on Quidco and none of them are offering cashback.

The usual blah - I don't work for any of the above companies and have no contact with them. I'm not giving advice, just my own personal opinion.

You might also want to have a look at Help the Aged's insurance arm - INTUNE
who are part of LV.
When I did a similar exercise for my 83yr old MIL SAGA turned out best for her but, of course, much depends on postcode, usage and cover required.
RIAS, who supposedly specialise in over-50's insurance, have never come anywhere near for me, Mrs W or other wrinkly relatives when I've tried them for quotes.
