Insurance Renewal... Again

Last year I took a multi car policy with Admiral that was supposed to provide discounts and last year it worked out favourably, as giving the Mini to my wife meant she only had the 2 years NCB Admiral were prepared to give her as a previous named driver on my policy. This year though the renewal has increased and I find that I can get standalone polices for considerably less (even quotes from Admiral for standalone policies were cheaper than the renewal they were after on their multicar policy).

So, the Z4 is now with Dial Direct for £259 a year including RAC breakdown cover and legal assistance, a whole £100 cheaper than Admiral which didn't include breakdown. The Mini is with Axa as my wife can now prove 3 years NCB and it works out over £150 cheaper than Admiral wanted. Results all round :)

The moral of this story, if there is one: Don't believe all the hype over Multicar polices as, in my case at least, it turns out to be mostly bollox.
 
have you tried doing another multicar policy quote online? or just relied on the renewal price?

i'm with admiral and my single car policy renewal came in at £909. i done a new quote online and it was £750. i then done a multicar policy and mine came in at £608. the missus' came in at £511 on a 62 reg focus with 2 years NCB.

we're only 24 and 23 also, so pretty good value imo. they were also much cheaper than anyone else, including specialist brokers.
