Having passed the age threshold of 72, I am not permitted to drive a Luton (minimum size to cope with the long bits).
Thus it falls to SWMBO to drive which she copes with very well but does not enjoy.
Anyone know of a van hire company which does not have an age restriction? I am now 74.
I have tried all the usual ones.

You need C1 for a Luton, no idea if they renew C1 entitlements at 70 for folks with grandfather rights.
EDIT: According to these folks it's not automatic and you need to supply a medical certificate to retain the C1.

If your licence has expired, wouldn't this invalidate your own insurance policy?
