Comprehensive insurance if vehicle older than 5 years?

[Manassas]

Neighbor went off the road with his older pickup and is screwed because he only has liability insurance. He said that for a vehicle over 5 years old you can only get liability insurance for the other guy. He said that what I know as comprehensive insurance, that is coverage for your own vehicle, is unavailable if your car is more than 5 years. Is this true? Surely somebody will insure an older car if you are willing to pay the premium.

Always thought that rule applied to cars over ten years old not five. Might just be his own insurer who has this rule.

You can get it for vehicles older than 5 years...I have it on my 7 year Fortuner. Didn't have to do anything special to get the coverage once the vehicle went over 5....it was just a normal annual renewal. Expect the neighbor is getting confused between 1st, 2nd, and 3d class insurance...and the govt insurance required to get the annual vehicle/road tax renewal.
