WELCOME TO THE OVER FIFTIES WEBSITE.

Overfiftiesinsurance.com is an independent insurance information website. Whether you are looking for car insurance, life insurance, pet insurance, home insurance, travel insurance or even wedding insurance you can find details on what is available and any offers that insurers are offering to you. We have looked at many of the well known and less well known insurers to see what they are offering. Today not only do those over fifty have the advantage of maturity and the knowledge that age brings, but they are part an age group that many companies actively target and so this enables you to take advantage of offers that those under 50 can't. For instance many life insurers offers free gifts with over 50's life insurance that are not available on under 50's policies. For example currently LV=Liverpool Victoria are offering new customers taking out an Over 50 Life Insurance Plan online £30 of M&S Vouchers FREE. One area where those over the age of 65 can struggle to find insurance cover is travel insurance as many travel insurance companies still persist in having age restictions even though this age group is estimated to take the most holidays. In 2010 there were 10.3 million people aged 65 in the UK and the number of people aged 85 and over had doubled over the last 15 years to 1.4 million. Fortunately we have gone through the small print to find insurers who do offer travel insurance whether it be single trip or annual/multi trip for those after over 65s Travel Insurance.    LATEST OVER 50's News.
