I red the above story, this is very unfair because the aged drivers have discount in the insurances and those formalities. You should give complaint to the main office of the company to prove that u are aged. And also mention that you want discounts in your insurances. Then Check that Volvo car to prove the Car Write Off Check and category of the car.👍

Arrived home tonight to find the two envelopes from insurer - renewal time. Oh Dear - lots in news about rising rates etc.

Put them on table whilst I took dogs out and had supper - putting off opening them.

Opened them after tea - prepared for the worst - shock...................

BMW 528 - Was £625 pa - new renewal premium £480 pa inc DD fee

Volvo 850 - Was £295pa - new renewal premium £295 pa inc DD fee

This is now second year that I have actually seen premia go down rather than up - I have protected maximum no claims and expect to see it rise a bit because general prices are rising, but clearly not in this little oasis in Renfrewshire. In addition I haven't written off an old Volvo on black ice for 2 years and 3 months now.

Year before last insurer did try to hit us with a rise so we priced up on comparison websites and they matched prices and since then we've had a drop in costs each year.

Perhaps at 48 I'm becoming "old" in the view of the insurers - funny I still feel like I'm 18. I think I drive better though.

Are there other sensible drivers out there seeing their policies getting cheaper?

Perform a Car Write Off Check to know whether your car has been written off or not, it is good to know about the car's history before you end up buying it. A write off is where the car gets damaged so badly that the car is said to be written off, which is done by the insurance agency, who send a damage evaluator. Learn More
