The ABI has set up a task force to help older customers shop around for travel and motor insurance.
It will recommend how to implement a system to help older customers get the insurance they need. Cover for older people is widely available, but a minority experience difficulties, according to the ABI.
The task force will be chaired by Keith Morris, Chairman of Sabre Insurance, which specialise in insuring older drivers.
In addition to ABI members, its membership will include Biba, Age Concern, Help the Aged and Citizens Advice.
Stephen Haddrill, the ABI's Director General, said: “Insurers are meeting the rising demand for insurance from older customers, and it is now widely available. ABI research shows four out of five older people can buy it without difficulty.
“But more can still be done. For a minority finding the right insurance can be a challenge. The task force will be consulting widely to develop a system so that older customers can easily shop around for the cover they need.”
