I know this is a recurring question but I need advice.
Petplan has put the monthly premium up by about £50 because Bubz is over 10. Is it worth hunting around for a policy from another insurer? She is in good health as far as I and the vet who did her annual MOT. I don't know exactly how old Bubz is since she is a rescue cat ao she may be nearer 11 than 10.

That surprises me, Lucy turned 10 this year and despite them paying over £4k last year, hers only went up by £20 a year. You will struggle to find insurers willing to take on a 10 year old though.

I think I'll query the figures and see what happens, can't harm, can it?

Helen check and see if the vet practice you use is running their own scheme, some are offering better deals & welcome older cats

Thanks I will.

I'd check out terms of any new insurers very carefully. An Insurer a few members have tried recently who seems to be able to broker very competitive deals is "Bought by Many" - you have to register to view deals, but they dont pester you, and they receive consistently good independent reviews.
That's a horrendous price for pet insurance, but often insurance varies by location too. Our insurance premiums tend to be lower than a friend of ours in Gosport pays.

Both my 17-year-olds are insured with Tesco for a lot less than that. It's quite a decent policy for their age, too. It's always worth shopping around.
