Multi Car insurance renewal ....
 
Just thought I'd chuck this in for info....
In Jan we had the multi car renewal through from Admiral.
It came through at £903 for 3 cars....my wife's A6 Allroad (2009), my 2005 A8 and my recently purchased 2004 BMW 645 (please forgive me!).
Anyhoo......the policy prices were within £15 of each other, my wife's being the cheapest (I'm 49 and the missus is 46).
I thought the renewal wasn't too bad but thought I'd call Admiral and see if I could reduce it a tad (well, I am a northerner after all).
After about 20 mins chatting and going though circumstances and to be honest making virtually no changes......£903 became just over £600! Result!
Then, I was informed that if I agreed to switch home ins to them when it's due in Aug, the policy price would be further reduced. Final result- approx £550 for all 3 cars!
Needless to say, I was over the moon.
Once again, sorry to have gone to the darkside.......with the Beemer......but it is a V8 after all 😀

Admiral are like that - the best of the lots when it comes to haggling (or, conversely, the worst at trying it on in the first place :tuttut: ) . I was with them for years when we had 4 or 5 cars in the family, and I only moved away when they starting hiking the premium on the Tesla (which they're not alone in doing...). I think my S8 is still insured with them, but solo, for c.£200.

£200 to insure an S8! That's incredible!
How old are you.......103?

Never accept a renewal from any company, always call and haggle. Definitely do this every year and it WILL save you money

I ended up going with LV multicar. It was staggeringly cheap compared to the others, handled modified cars, business cover etc with ease.

Really great customer service too.

Cannot fault them.....

£200 would be a dream for me. I blame the Greater London post code “tax” for mine.

I think mine is about £450 on a limited mileage policy. Interestingly the quote reduced by £200 with the modifications declared :Confused:

I may look to do a multi car policy with the wife’s smart car and see if that’s any good. Will see Admiral and LV +++

Never really found any Multi-Car policy to be competitive, I just shop around each year and works out well, Currently with Direct Line, cost me around £200, with 6 points and a decent fine for speeding for me, and three points for wife +++
