SkyJawa Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Certain companies allow you to share the NCB between cars, theres a few out there, the only one I can think of at the mo is Liverpool Victoria........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albundy68 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 bear in mind though that if you share your NCB a accident in the run about can ruin your supe NCB and cost you a fortune, better idea to build up a seperate NCB if you can afford it, then even if you have an accident in the supe, you can put the supe on the other insurance and have higher no claims than you would have keepin it on the one with the claim, if that makes any sence, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 A plan insurance brokers gave my mate a second set of no claims when he insured his landy as a second motor. Worth a call I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 The company that I have the Rover insured with have mirrored my NCD from the Supra policy, I just had to provide proof of it. Whatever happens to the Rover (ie accidents) doesn't affect the Supra policy. It was through a broker in Camberely. Erm. Sheltons 01276 34637. Bot of advice though, if you're after a cheap run around, get a cheap run around- ie lowest tax grouping etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attilauk Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 just a thought but if you mainly use the sh*tty runaround and dont do that many miles in the supra you could switch the supra policy onto the runaround so it would cost you almost nothing to insure and you could insure the sup on a limited mileage policy. its much cheaper to insure with limited mileage and usually a lot more leniant on mods, HIC are really good at this type of policy as the will give you an aggreed value for your car AND your mods (and they mirror your NCB! ) but it does restrict you on your mileage. i used to insure my beetle this way when i was at uni it only cost me £200 quid a year fully comp and they didn't care what i did to it as long as i didn't take the engine power over 70 bhp (they are only 40 bhp stock but the only weigh 600 kilos:p ) as i said just a thought...

Terminator Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Bell will match you current NCD and protection on a second car. Just insured another with them last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraSapphire Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Originally posted by baldy my current insurance want £644 to cover an 88 1.6 astra auto If the car's a 1988 it's over 15 years old and can therefore be insured on a classic car policy. There's no such thing as a no claims bonus on these policies. There usually really cheap. Try http://www.firebond.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
