That's according to a study by InsureMyCar.ie.

Misguided loyalty means that drivers in their 60s and above may be paying over-the-odds for their car insurance.

This difference, according to an analysis by InsureMyCar.ie, can be as much as 200%.

Those over 60 could be paying as much as €800 too much in insurance premiums.

In one case uncovered in the firm's analysis, the difference between the cheapest & the dearest premium quoted was €1200, or 195%
