Motor insurance for over 80 year old driver

MikeJXE

Not in my case as I can go anywhere on a whim, 

I did 622 miles in a day to Cornwall and back during covid 

I did over 1,000 last September to the Cairngorms national park for 3 days 

I could go to Scotland or Cornwall tomorrow 

Restricting my milage to usual 5000 would be a bad idea for me

But you told the OP to just up the mileage for the quote without asking whether they might be doing more or not.

I've said it before when other people have raised the same question, it's not viable for him to run a car, better to sell it, bank the money, don't pay out for insurance, VED, running costs, etc., and travel the 2K miles each year by taxi instead (or to be really MSE, on the bus for free using his bus pass where possible)..

So long as there are taxis/buses/trains available.  Not guaranteed in rural areas.
