When looking for car insurance you must consider many factors prior to purchase. If you are looking for car insurance and you own multiple cars then the decision is just that much harder. Regardless of how many cars you want to ensure you still want to get the best coverage possible at the cheapest rate and above all, you want to pick a company that will be there for you if you have a claim.
Discounts
Insurance companies are famous for offering discounts if you have multiple cars covered in one policy, the depth of those discounts will vary depending on the company you choose and the deductible you choose. Prior to picking one of these policies, you should do research and get quotes for the individual cars separately first and then you will have a comparison point when shopping.
Bonuses
Another consideration is if one person on the policy has an accident does everyone lose the no claims bonuses. This is an important factor if the bonuses are significant of if you have a driver that tends to be more accident-prone then the rest. You want to make sure that not everyone in the policy is punished for the mistake of one driver.
Adding future drivers
In addition, ask if you can add more cars later if needed. If there is a reason that you may need to add more drivers in the future, for example if you have teenagers that are approaching the driving age you do not want to have to start shopping all over for policies when you teenagers begin driving.
Renewal date
Look at the renewal dates offered, while this may seem small some companies do not allow you to move your renewal dates to all being once a year which may make renewing every car more expensive and a hassle. There is no point in going to a multi-car policy if it is not going to save you time and money.
When looking at which insurance policy to select you are going to need to consider multiple factors and ensure that the policy you are selecting fits you and your needs at a price point that is affordable.
