I will be a new customer as of 23/12/2023.

How do I know if I am getting the 15% club discount as that wasn’t shown on my itemised quotation?

I use Admiral Multicar, do you do multicar insurance ? We have three cars at present, a lovely Defender 90, an SL63 and a BMW s***box.

Hi @SL63 Mark, yes we do multicar insurance with discounts for having multiple vehicles too.

Feel free to give us a call on 0121 248 9229 and reference Mercedes Benz Owners Club and we will apply the discount to the quote. Even if your policy isn't due for renewal yet, if you submit your details and let us know when you're up for renewal, we will call you on the date you tell us to.

We have more on this on our website here too: https://www.heritagecarinsurance.co.uk/insurance/multi-car-insurance/

Hope this helps!

Hi @DSK, great to hear! We remember speaking to you on here a month or so ago, glad to hear you've chosen to insure with us.

We can certainly check this for you. Did you reference Mercedes-Benz Owners Club on the phone to our Insurance Advisor? If so, it is very likely the discount has been applied. If you'd like to give us a call to check, we can double check it for you :)

I’m awaiting a call back from the account manager today. I will ask him to double check but, I did certainly mention the club.

Last time I rang I was told that as the SL is my only car I can't insure it as a classic.
Is this really the case?

Hi @s5tuart, there may be a few reasons why this could be. If you'd like to share more details with us we can help with why this may be. It may be that we couldn't quote your SL if you are using it as an everyday vehicle (with no other classic) or just solely on a classic car scheme.

Yes. I'm using it as my daily driver

I used Admiral Multi car policy for about 4 years. Each year the quote would arrive & I would do a search for individual polices, which would be cheaper. Admiral would the match the price.
Two years ago they didn't, so I moved.

Yes, they keep pushing the price up, which is why I am starting to look around.

Yes that’s how they get you. Snap, I had that so long long ago with Admiral as well. Then moved to Chris Knotts with a separate policy for each car.

Note to all, do not stitch yourselves up again with getting a multi car policy elsewhere. Just insure each car on its own and then change easily as needed.

130,000 car thefts were made in England & Wales in 2022/23.

This is significant rise from the 108,000 incidents in the previous year which indicates a growing challenge in vehicle security.

To help combat this, our classic car brand Heritage Insurance have collated 8 theft prevention methods which you can use to improve the security of your vehicle. Some of which may provide potential savings on your insurance premiums too!

An article we think will be very helpful for members on here with queries on their insurance: Why you should avoid comparison sites: Expect gaps in cover for a ‘cheap’ price

While these sites might make it seem like you’re comparing apples to apples, the cover actually does vary from policy to policy. Even more so when compared to cover you could get via a specialist insurance broker.

In our latest article, we show you exactly how by using a comparison site, you could be getting: less cover which doesn't fully cover you, not always for the most competitive price and spending a lot of time shopping around for the 'best' option.

Feel free to give it a read here: https://www.nortonib.co.uk/2024/07/...sites-expect-gaps-in-cover-for-a-cheap-price/

Would love to get your thoughts on this too!
