Car Insurance for Over 50s from just £249!


Is car insurance cheaper for over 50s?


Mature drivers are probably safer on the road and are less likely to be involved in an accident. With age comes experience, that’s why we reward them with even better policy prices. And our best prices are always available over the phone.

Statistics provided by the Institute of Advanced Motorists suggest that the older you get the less of an accident risk you are. Pensioners make up 8% of drivers in the UK, but they are only involved in around 4% of accidents that cause injury.

This compares very favourably with drivers under 25. They makeup 15% of the driving population but are involved in 34% of injury accidents.
