Does anyone know of an insurance company that will cover drivers over 70 years old?

We could do with a list of insurers that insure the over 70's.

I'm less than a decade away from that landmark and at my age time flies at an infinitely accelerating speed!!

And I'll soon be joining this mob;

No Skippy the insurance is not for me but one of my drivers turns 70 in October.
I already take 1/4 of a viagra tablet a day. Not to help with my sex drive of course but to stop me from weeing on my shoes. :mrgreen:

Forgot to say. Take a whole Viagra, stops you rolling out of bed.

Hmmm, I am with Liverpool victoria and on my policy they only go up to 69 years 364 days. I had better ring my broker.

Grandad, LV should help. I use them for single vehicles and for fleets. Their normal terms of acceptance are 25 to 69 with full UK/EU license for minimum 5 years. They will not normally go younger than 25 but will usually do older drivers upon referall. Good luck

I would guess any taxi insurance used in London, as there ain't many driving taxis there under 70. :shock:
