Motor Buying car but might hold on to current

[Roro999]

Is it possible to insure two cars in one name reasonably.

 

[Leo]

Reasonable is subjective, but you will not have the use of a no claims bonus on the second policy.

If the second vehicle is a classic or camper, there are specialist insurers that charge reduced rates, often available via clubs.

Yes.

Some insurance companies will give very attractive rates for cars that will do low mileage.

EG Allianz have a 5,000km option.

As above, your current no claims bonus can only be used on one policy, but you can find some insurers will give you "bonus" discount of a year or two ncb.

If you have a clean record, I'd hazard a guess that you'd get it for €500-€600 and it would reduce yearly as your 2nd no claims bonus grows (assuming no claims)

Some insurance companies allow you to mirror your no claims from one car to another

Is that for general driving or for a classic car?

I used to have a van when I had multiple retail locations and needed two policies and two ncb. Axa gave a 2 year bonus ncb on the van when I first got it, but it was a separate ncb as I was with a different company for the car.
