Can I get car insurance now I am over 80?
If you’re well enough to drive, and you aren’t affected by a medical condition that stops you driving safely, you can still get insurance.
There’s no maximum legal driving age in the UK but some medical conditions will affect your eligibility to drive, and these are listed on the government website. If you are affected, you’ll need to tell both your insurance provider and the DVLA.
Not telling your insurance provider or the DVLA about a listed medical condition could invalidate your insurance, so you could face prosecution if you’re involved in an accident while driving uninsured.
While some providers will insure drivers between fixed ages and have an upper limit of 80, there are other car insurance policies do not have a maximum age limit.
