By EDWIN OKOTHMore by this AuthorOccidental Insurance Company has written to its agents and brokers to cease covering 25 vehicle makes and models citing rare and expensive spare parts. The vehicle models mainly Honda, Suzuki, Mazda, Hyundai and some varieties of Toyota will no longer get comprehensive cover at the firm after Thursday’s directive. In a letter dated February 14 addressed to all its business partners, the company also prescribed an age limit for private and commercial vehicles it will insure going forward. Agents are instructed to only issue third party cover to these vehicles, a cover that does not cater for repair costs to the insured. The company will also not insure private cars older than 15 years and commercial vehicles older than 12 years.
