Sir, – My advice to John Storey (Letters, May 2nd) concerning the increase in car insurance premiums for ageing persons by online providers (mine doubled this year in a “We’re here to help” nonsense email from my provider) is to once and for all close his computer and amble downtown to his nearest insurance broker, as I did recently. What ensued was a civilised and genuine chat about the cost and I left the broker to pursue the matter on my behalf. A week later, he matched my previous year’s insurance cost and that price included his modest fee.
A pleasant encounter and a fair price. – Yours, etc,
JOHN GAFFNEY,
Carrick on Shannon,
