Sadly my age has reduced the offers that come with our packaged bank account which makes the remainder comparatively more expensive. But many decent offers it seems.

Thanks all

I think Virgin Money do an account with similar benefits but a higher age limit for the travel cover.

Not enough for Ray but I think they are +5 years on Nationwide

EDIT: here you go, they cover up to age 75 https://uk.virginmoney.com/current-a...unt/insurance/

They have a half decent easy access savings rate with that account too

To be honest at 82 I am finding car costs, especially insurance, becoming an obnoxious overload on finances. I'm considering, again, selling the super fast barge and making do with a much cheaper banger like when I was a lot younger.

Yes - it's getting harder to rent cars also. Our local car club does not have these difficulties, but only offers less desirable autos
