CC Insurance - penalised for retiring

It would be of interest as to the reason why they had increased your premium.  If you had taken early retirement, say at 55, would they still increase the premium? 

Well, they probably think you will now be on the road much more with all your new found free time!!

Skoda insurance is the same, told them I will not be using car to and from work and also for business use (claimed milage allowance) went up £30.00!

68 years on the clock not exactly early retirment. Running our own business meant a commute of 300/400 miles per week!

Moral is: ALWAYS shop around. Loyalty counts for nothing (as you have found).  

(Sadly I couldn't save £103 on car insurance .... I don't pay that much to start with. )

My insurance went up when  I said I'd been on a speed awareness course. Surely having been made aware of the problems of speed my insurance should have reduced!

I wouldn't have told them

Hi , Just had phone call from Caravan Club! Nice chat but the reason is I had the silly idea that retirement would be less stressful than running our own business, traveling 300/400 miles a week in a variety of cars and trains, wrong!

Apparently they do not penalise retirees, just jack up the price when you do.

So I saved £103 pounds this year alone and they lost the business, result for me I think.

When I retired 5 years since I thought I would play more golf than when I worked but that's not the case.  

What the CC is doing is blatant age discrimination so they don't deserve the business!
