So Jez another 6 years to go before you can get cheap Saga insurance then......................... 5 months before my 50th they started sending more junk mails than the postman could carry and still send me plenty of stuff. I phoned them about cover for my Defender as a bit of a joke............................. their rate was even lower than LRI UNTIL I mentioned the words "modified" "off-road" and "use" - off-roading must be the preserve of the under 50's as they couldn't even offer cover, let alone give an extortionate quote!
BTW in the UK these days there is no such thing as "cheap" car insurance - there's "cheaper" but they are all expensive. It isn't your age that is making it expensive to insure it is the value of the car that makes them all run a mile - you have a far greater chance of getting your FFRR stolen to order than then owner of a Honda Civic or Ford Focus has and the premiums reflect that. IIRC last year when I contacted LRI (the new scheme) they wanted a Tracker on my FFRR, the old scheme (for existing clients like me) doesn't and they don't give discount for having one either. Also you have been overseas for a long period so your records have probably all fallen out of the Insurance Industry computers in the UK - in their eyes you have never existed as a client of the insurance industry so you are in effect a "new driver". Is there any way you can get your canadian Insurer to issue a letter with your good history there mentioned on it? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
