Insuring another car
« on: July 31, 2013, 07:08:46 am »
Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying another car, as we are moving soon, we will be doing a lot of building work and tip runs, I refuse to do that in the golf!

Looking at cheap estate for around £500, nothing special, just something to run into the ground.

Trouble is, insuring it. I'm only going to insure it as I have to, as ill only scrap it if anything breaks!


Any ideas on the cheapest way to insure it?


Cheers

Try and get a mirrored NCB policy with your existing insurer.

The risk comes mostly from your ability to write off a Ferrari and pay for some city boy's lost earnings, rather than the cost of your car.

I think your current insurer is the best way, given you can only be driving one car at any time, they'll reduce the risk.

I did similar last year, when i had the cars insured with admiral, ran a megane scenic for 6 months, (paid £150, sold for £475) it cost £211 to add the car for the year.

Cheers guys. Phoned my insurance and they don't offer that service. However they do offer M&S  vouchers if I take out a new policy, which they quoted over a grand, for a 1.8T passat!

That's that idea out the window!
