DRIVE A BARGAIN

drivers aged in their 50s should make shopping round for car insurance a priority. they’ve been hit hardest by premium rises in the past two years, with prices now at record highs. those of us aged 56-60 have seen prices spiral by more than 12 per cent since 2015 – the equivalent to an extra £34 on premiums, taking an average annual policy to £311, says the association of British Insurers. motorists aged 50 to 55 have seen a £30 increase, pushing cover to £339 a year.
