I will be 81 when my insurance becomes due and some companies will not insure beyond 80. Have any members 80+ got insurance and with which company? TIA

Peter Best Insurance Services acting as a broker for LV= but I think they said there was a limit of 80 when I renewed. LV= were adamant that they would not insure directly through them when I approached them as I was 80.

Thanks for the replies so far. At least I now know I have some options. Insurance not due till next year but I normally book my tunnel crossings before the end of this year and I wanted to be as sure as I can be, before I commit.

I'm 84 and with Caravan Guard. Car insured with AA but a lot more per annum than Caravan Guard for same mileage and a lot less value. It says to me that the car insurance companies and the repairers are getting away with murder and the Ombudsman does nothing about it.

I’m 80 next May, insured with CaravanGuard for the last 5 years with no issues. No mention yet of an6 restrictions for over 80s!
They were also cheaper at renewal than any others on comparison sites.

We are with NFU, their cut off age is 81, but they told me that as long as we do not have a break in our insurance then they will cover us both. If we cancel a policy they will not renew it.

That's interesting, does the Camping & Caravan Club have the same insurance company as C&MH Club?

I thought their Insurers were Devitts?
I could be wrong of course? 🤔

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I now feel confident that I will get insurance when the time comes so I will go ahead with the financial commitment in booking channel crossings etc and take the risk.
