I've just bought a new car.

I'm currently insured on my old one with Endsleigh, I need to cancel with them as they're s**t for a price on the new one. However they are closed until tomorrow morning now -.-

Can I take out another fresh policy with someone else whilst the one with endsleigh is still running? Its on a different car obviously, and then just ring up endsleigh tomorrow and cancel the one with them or do I need to be able to cancel the one with Endsleigh first, then take out a new one?

Yes just insure your new car with new insurer and cancel the old one when you can.

What i'm concerned about is the fact that your only meant to use no claims on 1 car at a time, so technically on the new policy i'd have to say i had no no claims as they are in use elsewhere?

I did the same thing last week - Started the fresh policy with my no-claims declared and then cancelesd the old policy as soon as was possible. The insurance company I switched to were fine with this so long as I cancelled the old policy as soon as I could.

I was just intending to take the new policy out with a company online as most are closed at this time of night anyway. Is this all perfectly ok?
