Is car insurance cheaper for over 50s?
It’s possible that car insurance could be cheaper once you pass the age of fifty. Many factors are considered when insurers calculate premiums - and this does include age. If you have been driving for numerous years without making a claim, the cost of your policy could be reduced.
However, it’s important to be aware that other factors like high mileage or car modifications can still increase your premiums, regardless of experience or no claims.
