Annotation	For many older people, staying mobile is key to maintaining their independence and quality of life. In April 2006, Help the Aged and Age Concern England (ACE) commissioned CM Insight in association with Andrew Smith Research to explore the nature and extent of age discrimination experienced by older people in relation to motor and travel insurance and at how barriers preventing older people accessing insurance products might be overcome. This outline of the main findings, "Insurance and age: exploring behaviour, attitudes and discrimination", includes older people's comments on difficulties in obtaining - if at all - reasonably priced travel and motor insurance policies.
