Worth talking to your broker, our fleetplan covers any driver with no age restriction and also added in sdp use just in case they get stopped driving outside of normal working hours.

It adds a whacking chunk to it though. Mine used to be any age, then it was 21, then 25. I almost passed out when they suggested last renewal that it be ‘any driver over thirty’

 

How on earth will young people get

jobs at this rate?

I spoke to a big tree company working on the edge of London a couple of years ago, he ran some 3.5t trucks and 7.5t plus a 12t lorries, he employed old feller to drive younger one about in lorries as insurance was cheaper.. 

It is crazy as most arborist trucks go to site in morning and sit there, we're as builders run around all day in there's picking up stuff plus a trip to nearest cafe.

It’s not that bad Ruben, I think the 4x4s are about £1500 a year for any driver with a U.K. license. It’s probably double what it was but I also added in sdp as well,is £750 extra pa too expensive when it’s the difference between a nipper working or not ?
