I do my old dads (77) insurance and normally get a good result using the staged approach suggested on the main site so that should be your first port of call.
It does get harder once they are over 70, he very very occasionally used to use my car so I used to have him as a driver on mine (Group 20 S4) but once he hit 70 it got very hard/expensive (lots wouldn’t quote, rest wanted +300-400%) so I stopped.
On his own car (low value slow Fiesta) I still get the refusal to quote problem but enough will quote so he ends up paying £100-150 per year which normally comes down below £100 thanks to quidco.

MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES
Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].Signature removed for peace of mind0 -

Have a read of the MSE cheaper car insurance guide
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/compare-cheap-car-insurance"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
My mum is 88 and the only firm I could get to insure her was Saga. I thought a little over £400 including breakdown cover was fair enough.
This is for a 2002 Peugeot 207.I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0
