Car Insurance for 80 year old.

My dad's a (reasonably) fit 80 year-old who's recieved a renewal quote of £458 for his Hyundai Lantra worth around £5000. Any suggestions where I can get an alternative quote? All web sites so far will not accept anyone of this age or above. Thanking you in anticipation.

    Try asking "Age Concern"
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    My grandparents use a local broker, as far as I know, they have no difficulties in getting quotes and renewals.

    My 87 year old mother had no problems with getting a quote from Age Concern recently. It was on the high side, but she expected that; depending on other circumstances (make/model/post code etc) around £450 sounds about right.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    £458 seems very good to me.
