Car insurance
Not bike related but does anyone have details of a car insurance company that will insure more than one car on the policy ?. Direct Line assure me that it is not possible and that no insurance company will offer this.

Just bought and old 4x4 to use when out shooting and fishing and can't get any no claims as it's a second car.

Seems daft to me as I've got 3 bikes on 1 policy!

Ends up that the 4X4 will cost me more to insure for about 2,000 miles use a year than my main car which is worth about 20 times as much and does 30,000 a year.

I don't know of any such policy (other than trader policies which cost a fortune), but my insurer gave an introductory bonus equal to several years NCB when I insured a second car with them. Assuming you are currently with Direct Line, won't they do that? If not, try Halifax.

Have a look on here, might not be able to get a 2 car policy but might be able to reduce your premium, we saved about £150 on the wife's car insurance using them this year

Dont go shifting to a traders policy tho, cos Alan discovered that he cant transfer his no claims from it - so will have to start effectively as a new driver when he wants his own car insurance (and he cant ride the bikes on it anyway)

PeeJ,

When we used to be with Admiral, we acquired an extra car. Phoned them up to try and do just what you're doing now - no chance!

But, what they did do was give me duplicate no claims bonus on a second policy to insure the extra motor. Worked good for me.

HTH

Cheers!

Scott
