Insurance

Make sure you’re prepared for the unexpected. We explain how insurance works, the different types available to protect your home, belongings, health and income, and what you need to think about when buying it.

It’s now easier for older people to get motor and travel insurance

From 6 April, older people will find it easier to get motor and travel insurance under an agreement between the ABI, BIBA and the government.

This means that if an insurer or broker is unable to offer cover to an older person due to their age, they will refer them either to a provider who can meet their needs or to a dedicated signposting service.
