He has an old, very old black taxi LD. Picked it up very cheap at an auction. But crippling on the insurance. I'd like him to get a smaller car but have to admit with wheel chair etc it's been a god send last year or so.

That does seem excessive but more likely that I am just out of touch.

Re: Third Party Only

It's just his age and length of time he's been driving. It will I'm told go down as he gets a better reputation. Seems a bit unfair because he is a far better driver than me really.

Yes Julie, doesn’t matter how careful a driver he is insurance companies see him as a high risk, does he have a black box fitted, may be worth looking into if not

Has he thought of having a "black box" fitted the insurance company can monitor his driving and charge accordingly?

I had Black Box in my car in the 90s. Turns out they didn't sing at all.
