I have ensure multi car which isn't really a multi car insurance they just mirror your no claims on each policy you take out.
I have a 2004 Ford B Max which is £226
2016 Abarth convertible 180'competizione £248
I have just bought and insured a R230 350SL and that was only £307
I have got a 2300cc Triumph Rocket Roaster motorbike and that only cost me £90 ..not the same company tho

Hmm You've done well to get those rates in SE England.

I've never found a viable multi-car insurance - they've always turned out considerable more expensive. One company was more expensive than the sum of the existing policies and they even insisted that I had to insure all three that we had at the time from day one despite two of them still having 4 and 5 months cover remaining!

Did you try esure? I did do a multicar with admiral a few years ago but they were too expensive to renew..... I am originaly from Catford SE6 ...insurance was a lot more when I lived there but I was also a lot younger ...I am 52 this year ...When I was in my late 30's i used to pay £1500 for my 993 which dropped to £900 when I changed to an XK8 ....I moved to Southend and in 2014 I had a Bentley GT which was only £660 .....it's cheap at chips down here .....I have a friend in SE1 Elephant and castle ...he had an old banger Previa only worth £500 and his insurance was £400

Last year with Admiral - 627 pounds.
This year renewal with Admiral quote - 667 pounds (no changes from last year and no accidents in the year). Joke I thought.
Looked on a comparison site - 518 pounds

Then tried CK - apart from speaking to someone who didn't seem interested one bit, the quote was ........... 1200 pounds. No thanks.

Called Admiral renewals, lovely American lady on the phone. Explained I had a quote much lower, same excess etc she said they didn't want to lose a customer etc. Came back and beat the comparison website by 5 pounds. Job done.

This is typical of renewals in general I find...you'll get 2-3 years then they try to hike it up

Yup. I had multicar. For precisely one year. Then renewals came in at A THOUSAND POUNDS a year total more than I could get each one individually insured for.
