Can you use your no claims bonus on 2 policies?

I am thinking of keeping my celica as a run around if I can get insurance for a decent price, what I need to know is can you use your no claims bonus on two different policies using different insurance companies?

 

I have used my no claims insuring the supra but if I can use them on another policy then I will be able to keep my celica:).

 

I was also wondering if sky insurance do a deal where you can insure two vehicles on the one policy, has anyone done that?

Hmm, I have managed it with Direct line, but I get the feeling they were not too happy about it!

 

 

How did you manage this i called them yesterday and they would only do me 1 years no cliams and an introductory offer?

IF an insurance company offers you a "mirrored" no claims, what tends to actually happen is that you get a mirrored discount for the 2nd policy based on your existing no claims, and accrue a separate no claims on the 2nd policy.

 

You will not usually be given a full no claims discount on your 2nd policy with any insurer, because you would then be able to switch your 2nd policy to another insurer the following year. And Insurers don't like that ;)

They obviously cocked up at elephant then as they did indeed grant me full no claims on my second car which was sent out as full no claims when I moved companies. To be fair I can only ever drive one car at once so for my liking its irrelevant the no claims on the second car because I think no-claims is just a proof of not claiming and should be applied to any policy. AFAIK if I lose the no claims on one policy that loss will also be legally applied to the other one.

Yeah that really boils my piss bugs me, that you can only drive one car at once, so why can't my no claims be full on both vehicles. similarly if my no claims doesn't apply to both vehicles for discount purposes, why should a claim affect both? Surely that's unfair.

Edit to add: I do get a discount on my second car based on my first policies no claims bonus, so I guess I'm not losing out, but the whole "it applies one way but not the other" really annoys me.
