    Even before the price rises, AutoAid were a non-starter for us because we're not married, but have co-habited for 20-odd years...

    That seems a bit discriminatory, not to say judgemental. Is it even legal?
    It seems to be.

    AutoAid do now cover common law partners, but as you have alluded to other aspects have become less favourable, including no longer covering a car 15 years old or older (unless specifically added to the policy), so not much good for the OP.

    Their website does suggest they do, but it's so inconsistent that - frankly - I don't trust them on the subject. It's easier to simply go elsewhere than risk an argument roadside.
