Haven't done our home and contents insurance as yet, but did our car insurance this week. We were quoted $1,335 from our current insurer - an increase of over $600 on the previous year. Got on to comparison sites - after I recovered from the shock - and found one company that offers "drive...

Yes, I have used NIB - through National Seniors Australia and also Qantas - both have annual policies for over 80's, and were very close in price. Never travel withour it.

Insureandgo only cover up to 79 for cruises and do not offer annual policies - at least two companies that I know of and have insured with do cover oner 80 and offer annual comprehensive. You need to list the cut off age, and policy limitations if you are talkung about "seniors" travel insurance.

Yes, we do realise this, however in 20 years he has never had any problems. And this would only apply to that part of the medical - if he fell and broke a limb, he would be covered. So many people travel without having ever been to the doctor for a checkup, and surely they pose a greater health...

What you have not listed is the "cut off age" - this means that so many healthy older people who love to travel, struggle to find a policy that will cover them for travel insurance. I am in my 80's and have no 'pre-existing' medical conditions and have searched out many companies for travel...

Trying to do our bit Now that the Red Cycles for soft plastics has stopped, we try to do our bit by putting these in a large plastic bag, then tie it securely and it goes in with the general rubbish. All in one bag and not in seperate little bits. Everything goes into it that we would have...

I tried to apply for this, but even though my computer showed that I was logged in, I had to keep going through a Google account to do so. And so many pictures thatr I had to select bridges, motorcycles, hydrants that it just got too crazy! Why was it so difficult? I travel a lot and when I am...

Yes, we were up in the Blue Mountains last week and visited 5 Op Shops there - one in Springwood and four in Katoomba. We also found that Vinnies was by far the dearest, we looked at a couple of prices and just walked out. We bought at two of the others - the third one was very small and...
