I've been thinking about getting a 2nd car to hack about in for work purposes, mainly because the roads are in such poor condition round here and the Elise does'nt like it much!

Does anyone know an insurance company that will give me a good quote on a second car given my 12 years of fault free driving?

Hi Alun!

Try your current insurers. Some will mirror any NCB you have so you can insure a second car with them, and you can get some good deals. The good bit is that after a year the mirrored NCB becomes a real NCB and you've then got two!

Some companies used to offer straight full NCBs (no mirroring) to policyholders wanting a second car, but I don't know if any of them still do.

I instantly got 50% NCD on my 2nd and 3rd cars - I think it was through NFU insurance.

Now up to 65% and protected on all 3.

Try Aon, which does specialist insurance, and will mirror that policy onto your normal car. It's the cheapest way we could get a plain old Mondeo insured, and much cheaper than using my full NCD on the Mondeo alone.

Ouch. They were the cheapest by far for me. Mind you some of these online places only want drivers with clean licenses and low group cars. My license is squeaky and I don't think my Skoda Felicia 1.3 is going to get vertigo from it's insurance group .

Mind you insurance is always a lottery. There are a number of cases where people with much worse records than mine get cheaper quotes that I can from some companies (not get it cheaper just some companies).
