Job title for insurance

Daz2009

I understand what you do for a living can have a big bearing on your car insurance premium.
What job title would you suggest for someone who isn't working, isn't looking for work, isn't claiming benefits or pension and is under the state retirement age ?

Retired?  Houseperson?? Homemaker???

Lucky ?  

You can always phone and ask

"of independent means", though I'm not sure what that translates to on the drop-down lists.

That sounds like what used to be called a 'gentleman', or having 'private means'.

These days I'd go for 'retired'.  The state retirement age is irrelevant: I retired at 54 and the insurers were perfectly ok with that.

Although my wife retired at 45 and the insurance company asked for proof that she was being paid through a pension.

Sometimes an answer is "not working due to disability" it that's the reason (benefit claim or not) I would select that, otherwise as above "retired".

other half was down as househusband and that worked fine

I've never had to do an online car insurance quote before so I don't know what options they give you, I think the best thing I can do is to phone Direct line and speak to a real person initially and go from there 
Incidentally I'm not disabled either lol

Unless it's in their T&Cs a pension has no real meaning on the issue.
Since 2011 there isn't s default retirement age, it's up to the person when they withdraw from the workforce.(But an age can be in a work contract but can't be below State pension age, unless  a compelling reason).

There's a pretty simple way of finding out...
