Car insurance for the older driver
When other insurance companies are avoiding the provision of cover for older drivers, Age co provides excellent cover at a realistic price.

Friendly helpful staff
I called 3 times over two days, waiting over half hour each time in the queue as there was a huge computer glitch. However the staff were friendly, clear and helpful and I finally got my car insurance sorted. They were the least expensive yet seemed to offer a better deal. I'd use them again.

You can call us on 0800 055 6205, this line is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) or you can email us at customer.relations@ageco.co.uk.

Autorenewal prices are brutal.
My elderly Dad took out home insurance with Age Co, the insurers being LV (Liverpool Victoria). A couple of autorenewals later he was paying in excess of £400. I handled the renewal this year and bought the exact same cover for less than half the price.
Not all older people can 'shop around' online, or have people who can do it for them. Age Co UK seem unaware that this might be the case, and/ or they don't care because they're making money from that. Oh, how ironic that they use these funds to 'help' doddery old codgers who can't work out the technological interweb to shop around for the best insurance deals. Check out their Computer Training courses near you, folks.
I emailed them to query whether they could maybe cap autorenewal for older people (say 70+) so that, say, it didn't exceed the national average for home insurance - but they replied to say that's not how insurance works and people should shop around.
Lesson - do not assume that a 'charity' working for older people is averse to ripping older people off.

Hello
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to learn of your concerns regarding the renewal premium for your father's Age Co Home Insurance policy, provided by LV=.
Our aim is for our products and services to meet the needs of our customers and represent good value for money. However, as the provider, LV= do need to determine the premium charged based on the individual circumstances and insurance risk involved, which differs across each product and insurer, and we cannot comment on premium from other providers. Age Co would never recommend customers choose our service over others, and we encourage customers to shop around. This ensures customers are aware they can select a product suitable for them at a price they are happy with, either online, over the telephone, or with an insurance intermediary service.
Once again thank you for your review and taking the time to bring this to our attention. If you would like to discuss this with us further, please contact our Customer Relations team and we would be happy to take some further details and investigate your concerns with our insurance partner LV=. You can call us on 0800 055 6205, lines are open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) or you can email us at customer.relations@ageco.co.uk.

Only an Idiot would reject a £500 saving
I Called Age Concern for my car insurance quote. I have been with Aviva for many years and their quote this year, without any claim, was £1237, which I think is unjustified. (I am 94 years of age).
On virtually the same terms LV= quote was £709.
Despite being an Aviva Shareholder I have changed to LV=Insurance
