Car and Motorbike multivehicle insurance
« on: 26 September 2017, 21:48:46 »

Hello all

i'm sure we are now all quite familiar with multivehicle/family policies but i'm having a tortuous task finding an insurance company who will do reasonable insurance on the Omega AND motorcycle.

Yes, i've trawled the back of car mags and searched  online and you do indeed see many adverts; however once you call them they won't answer the easy question of "do you offer it". Instead it takes them ages to go through every question in the book before deciding that they don't offer such policies anyway. I can't be the only Omega owner who has a bike too, so any recommendations from anyone else out there? I dont want the other extreme either where the company wants you to insure everything with them either!

Recommendations of reputable companies most welcome.

Cheers

RDS

Probably cheaper to keep them separate  :y

I agree. My bike's insurance wasn't  much over £100 even after many yrs of not having bike insurence.

Interesting views there but i found the opposite: much cheaper to have the two together. Except they want me to add other vehicles this year and i don't want to do that.

Cost me £85 per year to insure my 2006 BMW GS, that was 8k commuting miles, garaged.

Hardly worth combining it.

I never tried to include my bike with my cars  :-\ Trouble is I've not insured or used it all for the past few yrs  :-[

That's cheaper than my push bike insurance!

Thanks again, but like I said, that's not my experience.

Anyone have a recommendation of a company that DOES offer mixed 2-4 wheel policies?

Try Admiral, Ive never used multi vehicle policies but I know they were one of the better companies doing it.

I never found one that was cheaper than I could get separately. I also found comparison sites a bit crap for bikes, and always got cheaper doing the tedious calling around. Good luck in your quest :y
