Motorhome insurance for over 80’s

Guide to over 80 Motorhome Insurance

Like health insurance, premiums tend to rise as you get older, and some providers will even impose an upper age limit. Others will only insure you if you have an existing policyholder who is turning 80 or above. It is important to do some research if you are over 70 to select an insurance provider that will still offer you coverage at a reasonable rate as you grow older and reach age 80 or above.

Over 80 Motorhome Driver on the Increase in the UK

Thanks to advances in medicine, we are living longer, and according to the Government Office for Science, we can expect that by 2040, nearly one in seven people is projected to be aged over 75. The over-60s, 70s, and 80s represent a growing sector of the lifestyle insurance market, and there is an increasing demand for insurance tailored to their leisure lifestyle. More insurance providers are beginning to see this emerging market and are now offering cover for those over 80. Unfortunately, similar to under-25 motorhome insurance, the premiums tend to be higher to cover the perceived additional risk.

Does motorhome insurance cost more for drivers over 80?

Motorhome insurance tends to get cheaper as you get older, but at 70, you may find it starting to increase. It’s a fact that drivers over 80 will, on average, pay more for campervan or motorhome insurance than drivers aged 25 and above, up to age 70. The only good news is that it should still cost less than for young drivers. Why? Elderly drivers are perceived as higher risk, primarily due to health concerns. So, even if you have never made a claim, expect to pay more for insurance as you hit 70 and above. This is also true for car insurance for over-80s, when your premiums typically increase as well.

However, you can take steps to control the price of insurance as you get on in years.

• Downgrade to small cheaper motorhome or campervan
• Choose a pay as you go policy or even consider temporary motorhome insurance, just insure as needed
