Charlie too old for insurance? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coverage

'insurance?' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'charlie too old' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'too old' becomes 'overage' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'overage'='COVERAGE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for coverage that I've seen before include "publicity" , "Press reporting" , "Treatment of news" , "Extent reached by advertising" , "News reports" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
