2nd insurance policy

[soc]

Time is coming to replace the R53 as a daily driver and I'm considering a second insurance policy with limited mileage so I can keep it but wondering how anyone on here manages it before I go ringing around? Is it just a case of sucking up an additional policy with zero no-claims bonus or are there any specialist companies I should talk to?

Go with a broker is your best bet, let them do the searching for you. Or I think Axa actually allow no claims bonus mirroring.

Assuming it's over 15 years old, your options are extremely limited otherwise as most leading insurance companies no longer are interested in 15yo+ cars.

BTW, NCB mirroring is not available via any of the 10+ insurers/brokers I had tried late last year.

Not if you have it insured already in your name once it rolls over 15 years - they won't refuse a renewal, only new business for 15yo cars.

No idea why - they can do wtf they like - higher risk me hole....

Transfer the R53 to a family member and drive it on your existing policy's 3rd party extension.

That's how I'm currently driving my E39 (yes it's NCT'd & taxed) and I've a letter from FBD stating that the car being driven on the 3rd party extension doesn't have to be insured itself....

I just got another car recently and I'm thinking of doing this.

What do you do about an insurance disc? Do you take the disc and cert from your insured car when you want to drive the E39 or just leave it without one?

Yes - I use the insurance disc from my daily as that's the policy that you will be driving under too.

Just check with your existing insurer - I was with 123.ie (RSA) previously and they insisted that the other car you're driving had to have a valid insurance policy in place by the owner (no idea why) but FBD said it didn't have to be insured in the other 'owners' name as it was them covering the liability.

Thanks, I'll do that so. It would be madness if I had to get a 3rd policy.

I've already asked and they said it doesn't matter if it's not insured by anyone else.

Yes, most insurance companies are very vague about the above. Is it just to deter people from doing this? Funnily enough, on my own policy, in the Product Document, it states that I have Comprehensive cover when I drive other cars , providing the car in question is not owned by me and is 3,000CC or lower.
