Just recovering from a phone call. Feelin very shaky.
Thought that I would get a couple of quotes for wifies Micra which I use occasionally -mainly to fill up with fuel.
So phoned coop--listed in top 10 by which.
After going through numerous questions--asked my age as second driver. Over 80 and a bit. Wife is 72--so she"s ok .
Appears they dont insure anyone over 75--SEVENTY FIVE.
So at 74 and 364 days you"re ok --next day you"re GAGA.
I can hire a car from Enterprise--no age limit--I can fly a plane at 75 plus--although there are some companies that have a cut off at 75 or 70 !!!! -but the COOP dont want me.
The odd thing is that there are so many anomalies----.
Must admit that I play the doddery pensioner card when renewing sky etc.--as it seems to be assumed by some that you"re brain dead at 60.
I wonder what happens to the people who run these companies when they hit 60/70/80.
Maybe they all go to switzerland at 60.
Great to hear of other similar situations --presume a lot of forumites out there are booking a plot of land or planning to be scattered on runway 23.
