I think Admiral provides multi car insurance for cars which is been owned by a single person. And your one car is for hire right ?

eg But you never mentioned when you filled out the form that your great-grandfather wore glasses.... so obviously blindness is a risk that we didn't factor into our cover.....
or "No claims" but (once again) you failed to mention that your 2nd-cousin once witnessed an accident in Australia.

I would have thought that the car would be insured for any driver as part
of the contract hire agreement ?

Yeah - generally this is what they do....
2 separate policies, one of which has your full No Claims Discount on it (you should be able to choose which one therefore go for the most expensive policy pre discount)
the second policy - almost all insurers will offer an 'introductory NCD' which tends to equate to 2yrs (40%) - you may then get a bit more for having 2 policies with them.
Generally, the only policies available nowadays which offer more than one car on one policy are traders policies which tend to be expensive.

We've got two cars insured with Tesco on the same policy number. However, they seem to be separate policies with separate premiums. You can spread your NCB between the two however you like.

Spoke to tesco and all they said was 'you have to take a second policy out on one of the cars, so one car will have your max NCB while the other, we can give a 5% discount on the premium' ie the second car is virtually a new policy from scratch!
'Hang on' I said, 'you claim I can have multi car insurance and save money.' Yes, they say, but you have to insure both cars separately. You cant have 2 cars on one policy!
WTF that's no much cop.
I thought you could have a 'multi car' policy which covers you for 2 or 3 cars on the one policy. Am I wrong? Does anyone know any companies that do this?
BTW, Admiral is the same as tesco ie its not a 'real' multiple car policy. Its separate policies for separate cars.
