Insuring multiple vehicles
What is the best way to go about insuring more than one car? I'm wanting to get a small hatchback for commuting so I can use the Defender a bit less for mundane stuff. I just got an insurance quote for a car I'd seen (value £1500) and they were all over £700! I think this is because all my ncb is on the Defender so I'll be starting from scratch with second car. So, I'm probably doing this wrong. What should I do to get the best value insurance across two vehicles? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I think Aviva's multi-vehicle policy is good. Can fully customise it anytime online adding cars, deleting cars...same with mods. Price changes reflect straight away in time for next months DD. NCB spread across policy and if you have more than one driver, they are isolated so if one driver has a claim the NCB of the other is not effected. Bonus for me is extender European cover. Worth a look.

I now have 4 cars, inc a defender, on a single policy and it's a lot simpler and cheaper than separate policies.

Thanks Froglaise, I'll have a look at that. European cover on the Def is in important as I'm in France a lot. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Worth mentioning too that I add any mod I make as I go (they have just about everything you can imagine to choose from) and aside from an Alive remap, nothing has made the premium go up yet. Even then it was only £7 over the whole 12 months. I think many other policies fail on this point and with the necessity of security mods etc it's worth being sure the investment in mods are covered.

I need to check, but I think I may be with Aviva now. Hopefully it would straight forward to switch to a multcar policy. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

find a good agent, as some will be able to get companies to match your current ncb. I suggest A Plan - we have 5 cars with them and premiums are good (insurers are marker study). Probably cheaper than a multi car policy for us at least.....

I have used Admiral Multicar with reasonable success but you have to haggle with them every year at renewal time, and probably in your case right at the beginning. I currently have 4 cars with 4 drivers on our policy for £1290. One driver is age 21 and one is age 26 so reasonable I think although the policy does seem to have a few exclusions, and they don't recognise what a Series 1 is. 2.2 90 XS
