The good news is that being an older driver usually means you can benefit from cheaper car insurance than younger, less experienced drivers.

If you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s, finding a good deal on car insurance for over 50s shouldn't be a hassle. With the right information at hand, getting a great quote should be a matter of minutes away.

Having the following details ready may help speed things up:

• Driving licence and history - You need information such as how long you've held your licence, the type of licence, and any driver convictions or disqualifications you've collected in the past 5 years.
• Details on your car - Knowing the number plate will help us to find the information we need about your car. You should also make a note of any modifications made to the car.
• No-claims bonus - If you've built up any no-claims bonus, you could be entitled to a discount on the price of your insurance. Whilst typically the maximum number of years insurers take into consideration is five, some insurers do offer discount on up to eight years.
• Additional drivers - If you'd like to add an additional driver, also have their details ready.

Once you reach 70, by law you must renew your driving licence - and then again every three years.
