One issue that never seems to be mentioned is one of age. I'm 81, and I insure with Aviva at the moment. I have two vehicles on my policy, and I'll probably ad a third this month. I tried to get a feel for probable price increases, and they were reluctant to comment, but one thing they mentioed was that, whilst they are happy to continue cover with current customers with a good record, they do not accept new customers over the age of 80. Is this common, and am I locked into Aviva for the rest of my driving life?

Have you tried one of the insurance comparison sites? Just pop your details in and the amount of quotes you get back should give you a feel for whether or not it's a typical approach for more senior drivers

My mum is 85 and her renewal with the Coop went from £467 to £1400 would you believe. This is with no change in anything apart from their commercial greed. She was panicking. Via CTM it came down to £530 with a 'big company'. Good luck ! |

Unless you have something particularly nickable / valuable, I wouldn't have thought it would make enough difference to be worth it for you to pay for fitting it. |

Actually I tried to revise my insurance policy assuming I added a new thatcham device and there was no change/discount... so you are right.
