2nd Car Insurance
« on: 22 November 2003, 18:07 »
Does anyone know an insurer who will let me use my NCD on one car for insuring a second car ?  

My current insurer won't let me add my Golf to my policy :(  even though I am the only named driver and can only possibly drive one vehicle at a time.

Failing that any ideas for insuring a MK2 16v with 0 years NCD ?

I had the same problem with my cabrio.........its ridiculous and an absolute con as you can only drive one car at a time.

I ended up taking out classic car insurance with footman james, worked out as ?107 fully comp (limited mileage)

They asked for a copy of my MOT certificate so they could find out from the mileage on there. You don't have to have the limited mileage, it just helps to bring the premium down and I only use the car in the summer for fun and shows so its not a problem.

the company i work for rents an outbuilding, and a guy that works for them (a web designer) has car trader insurance, he runs about 5/6 cars he has lots of cars.. a nice honda import, and some lil fast modded ones like novas, minis, etc etc... might be worth looking into?

Thanks for the replies.  

The problem I see with a trader policy (apart from the cost) is the fire & theft insurance for both cars.  Is this included ?

RichandHazel - could you give me the number for footman James - I've never heard of them.  What is the criteria for a classic policy, age and type of vehicle ?

My current co. want ?700 to insure my Golf.  The best quote I could get with 0 years NCD is ?480.  All tpft.
