Why is car insurance for over 70s so cheap?
We realise that the longer you have held a driving licence, the more experienced you are as a driver. That’s why we can offer value for money insurance policies for the over 70s whether you choose fully comprehensive or third party, fire and theft cover.
Statistics suggest older drivers are probably safer on the road than younger drivers. With that knowledge, and taking your individual circumstances into account, we can offer you a better deal.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists has revealed that pensioners comprise 8% of UK drivers, but they are only involved in around 4% of injury accidents.
In comparison, the under 25s make up 15% of the driving population but are involved in 34% of injury accidents.
