Umm - I don't think you do.

You also have different NCD of each Vehicle (my biggest shock when buying my shed was that I had to start again on a second car)

They've just got my business on my SL500 and my new runabout C1 - I got the C1 to take the strain of commuting mileage off my SL, but having no NCB for a second car the C1 quotes were coming up with crazy numbers - £2000 was typical (consider I pay £540 for the SL). Admiral did the C1 with a full NCB on condition that I move the SL over next year onto the policy when it runs out in July. The price to move the SL over is fixed and looks pretty competetive.

In my experience:

Insure 2 cars on one policy, pay the price of four policies.

Got a fully comp multicar policy on an E92 M3 and a Saxo VTR for £1,600 when other firms wouldn't even quote me for my age, so im happy with them

Then again i am slightly disappointed on the renewal price on my 335i

It works for me.

3 cars, 2 drivers. The combined insurance for all 3 cars is only 10 quid a month more than just the Alfa was by itself. The mrs is laughing kitbags because the difference between adding her car onto my two only cost £10 and I just said I'd pay it. She's saving £300 a year on her stty volvo previously insured through lesbian feminists.com.

Multicar is pish. Best quote I got in August was 600 quid for both. One of the motors gets quoted with your full ncd and the other with feck all ncd. What a rip

Clio in August cost me £224 fc with Adrian Flux (again I was treated as having 0 years ncd).
Forester today cost me £171 fc with Swiftcover (with my full 16 years ncd).

In my experience:

Insure 2 cars on one policy, pay the equivalent of £400 less for my car than anywhere else and pay the same price (within £20) for the additional car.



I'm not expecting such a big difference come renewal time in January...but one can hope!

Multi car didn't work for me either... three cars, two drivers (my policy with the old man as a named driver).

New Fiesta Diesel (needed business cover), Disco (was happy to limit mileage), and Jensen (again limited mileage but needed guaranteed value).

All three cars too complicated for them to comprehend, so have the Fiesta on one policy with Direct Line, the Disco on a no frills meerkat quote, and the Jensen on a specialist policy with classicline.

Now just to try and keep on top of taxing, MOT, insurance renewal dates.

Just tried Primo as some have suggested here and they could not quote me as I have more drivers than cars. They will only quote on fewers drivers than cars.

Therein lies the rip off.....

I take back everything I have just said!! I've called to remove the Fiesta (20 minutes of messing around on the phone), only to find that the cheapest they can do the Porsche for is now £170 MORE expensive than my last quote.

The reason.... I have a baby (who can't go in the car for another 6 months anyway). Why would my driving be more dangerous when I have a baby in the car?

Pants down to the left. Pants down to the right.

EDIT: Further update.. . I checked on Confused.com instead of the meerkat and got the price with Admiral (with baby) for CHEAPER than all of my previous Admiral quotes (even without baby).

Crazy. Frustrating. But its done now for another year!
