Multi-car policies can help save you time and even some money. How does car insurance work when it comes to people who own multiple cars? Here’s what you need to know about multi-car insurance policies.
Can you have multiple cars on one insurance policy?
You can have more than one car on your car insurance policy. Multi-car policies are offered by most insurance companies and allow you to cover several cars under a single policy if all cars are owned by the policyholder.
Benefits of insuring more than one car on a policy
There are several benefits to having multiple cars under one policy.
It’s convenient to manage multiple cars under a single policy. This way, you only need to keep track of one renewal date, and all covered vehicles will share the same coverage period. In addition, you’ll get insurance documents for the vehicles at the same time and important policy information can be managed in one place.
A single policy for multiple cars can mean more savings than having separate policies. Many car insurance providers offer a multi-car discount. You can save more on coverage for each car than you could on separate policies.
Sometimes, it makes more financial sense to add another car to a policy than to take out a new one. For example, a new policy for a recently licensed driver could be costly because they are riskier to insure. Adding a young driver to your existing policy will likely cost less than if they got their own policy.
How many cars can you include on your policy?
The number of cars you can have on a policy will vary depending on your car insurance provider. Each car insurance company has their own limit for how many cars can be on a single policy, so check in with your car insurance company for specifics.
How to get insurance for multiple vehicles
The process for getting insurance for multiple vehicles is similar to getting insurance for just one. There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to multi-car insurance quotes, however.
Use the same cars, drivers, coverage limits and deductible amounts when comparing policies to get a more accurate look at pricing. It may take more time to complete each quote, but you’ll be making a more direct comparison between the actual insurance products.
Having multiple cars but only one driver on a policy can be an indicator of fraud to your insurance company. Each person who has access to the vehicles must be listed on your policy as a rated driver.
Conclusion: How many cars can you have on your insurance policy?
Most car insurance companies offer multi-car policies. Not only can you save money with a multi-car discount, but you can also save time managing all your vehicles when they’re under the same policy. A multi-car policy can be a good idea when someone in the household becomes a newly licensed driver. While a car insurance policy can cover multiple vehicles, remember to list each driver in your household on your policy. Those drivers will also be covered by your policy.
