Auto Insurance

Imaoldhippie · ‎06-10-2015

We are in the process of getting our auto insurance changed to here in Ohio after our move. Hubby went to an insurance agent and there are a lot of insurance companies that are not insuring people over the age of 75. So our choice of companies is limited.

Just letting everyone know in case you are contemplating a move or know someone that is and over 75.

Wow, that's a new one.
I doubt if that would be allowed here in Arizona with all of the old people living here.

Hmmm, is that legal?

I used to work in the insurance industry and there was always the Assigned Risk for drivers with tickets and accidents, young drivers.

I'm surprised they haven't done that with the older seniors.

@Mom2Dogs ............It sounds like age discrimination to me.

State Farm will insure Seniors but charge them more!

They are an "additional" risk, so they say!

@Zhills even though I am a senior, I do have to agree, sometimes we/they are more of a risk.

Well, working in the Eye care field for decades, I can believe this. There were many seniors that came into our office who legally, because of their vision, shouldn't have driving but were anyway. Insurance companies have done this for as long as I can remmeber for young male drivers, so I am not surprised.

@Imaoldhippie. There's all kinds of discrimination but much, like this, is not illegal.

@KittySoftPaws. In New Mexico, seniors have to have a yearly eye exam to renew their driver's licenses. It's quite an inconvenience.
