Had any lucky applying commuting across 2 policies, but only one car at a time?

Renew is up in Sept, both will (if cheaper) going onto a multi car policy. Only one of the cars is used to commute at any one time, depends if MrsT has the 2.2.

As I normally use that if its raining or too cold for the bike. But if she has/needs the 2.2, I take the 3.2.

3.2's policy expires in a week and is in that "stop gap" period before joining the multi car policy in September, hence asking now.

Me and the Mrs use shielas wheels, they do multi car and mirror your NCB onto both, not had any issues.

Hummm Mirror NCB sounds nice, MrsT will only have the one year as she stopped driving for over a decade.

Anyone managed to get Admiral to mirror NCB?

Any other good multi-car policies offer mirroring?

I use Admiral multicar, both cars are insured for me and spouse for business use  which normally includes commuting and for use in connection with my or my spouses business,I am self employed she is employed.
You need to be clear about who you give as the Main driver of each vehicle and who else is entitled to drive,
A normal "commuting" policy only entitles you to commute to and from one place of business, many people get caught out if travelling to different offices, if you do this you really need to include a business add on, class 1 business maybe class 2 business.

Thanks. 

It's a single office I commute to, nothing else.

Trouble is the 3.2s main driver is me, but I do not use it to commute that much. The 2.2 is the Mrs main car, but I use that to commute sometimes.

Tbh I do most of the driving, across both, but she needs to be main to clock NCB.

She can't go main on 3.2, too friggin expensive

Thats fine then.
Include commuting on both cars with spouse as main on 2.2 and you as occasional, in the real world the ncb  or lack off will not be too detrimental if she only does a limited mileage in both cars, you do limit or stipulate the mileage don't you?

Ring round a few, and get them to go for full NCD, stating that she hasn't had any accidents, just not needed a car for a while.

Yes. 5k/year on the 3.2, 7k/year on 2.2 also have 5k/year on the bike.

It's nicely spread out

Yeah. Hoping some will mirror NCD, would make a big difference.

I've just gone Multicar with Admiral for Me & the wife - better deals than our separate insurances

We have ours the same with LV no problems at all.

If you have cars that are worth .. well, newer cars, REIS have a good family policy scheme - I can get the truck, BMW and RX8 insured for £800 including breakdown or £1050 including fully comprehensive cover on any car not owned by me up to £150,000 value.

[deviator]

I got stung on an Admiral multicar.

3 cars on the policy, but 2 came on mid policy so didn't gain a full NCB for that year as Admiral nicely move all the renewal dates to the same date. This works out great whilst you stay with them, for me the quote the following year was silly, but I now had to insure 3 vehicles in one month instead of being spaced throughout the year.

Never again.

By applying your NCD to your spouses policy?
