Multi Vehicle Policies

Multi Vehicle Insurance

Routen Chaplin arranges multi vehicle insurance for clients who want a simpler way to cover more than one vehicle.

If we already insure your classic or vintage vehicle, we may be able to add a variety of other vehicles to your policy. This can include classic cars, vintage vehicles, modern cars, specialist vehicles and other eligible vehicles, depending on your circumstances and the insurer.

A multi vehicle policy can help make your insurance easier to manage, with one policy, one renewal date and one set of documents.

What is multi vehicle insurance?

Multi vehicle insurance is designed for people who own more than one vehicle and want to bring them together under one policy.

Instead of arranging separate insurance policies for each vehicle, a multi vehicle policy can provide a more practical and flexible way to manage cover.

This can be especially useful for classic vehicle owners, collectors, families, enthusiasts and clients who own a mix of classic, vintage, specialist and modern vehicles.

Why choose a multi vehicle policy?

Managing several separate policies can be time-consuming. You may have different renewal dates, different documents, different insurers and different levels of cover.

A multi vehicle insurance policy can help simplify this.

The main benefits can include:

• One policy
• One renewal date
• One set of documents
• Less admin
• Flexible cover for different types of vehicles
• Potential savings compared with separate policies
• Easier management for collectors and multi vehicle households
• Support from a team that understands classic and specialist vehicles

Multi vehicle insurance for classic and vintage vehicle owners

Many classic and vintage vehicle owners also own other vehicles.

You may have a cherished classic car for weekends, a modern car for everyday use, a vintage vehicle for shows, or another specialist vehicle as part of a collection.

Where we already insure your classic or vintage vehicle, Routen Chaplin can help you explore whether other vehicles can be added to your policy.

This can be a practical option if you want your vehicle insurance arranged in a more joined-up way.

What vehicles can be considered?

Depending on the insurer and your circumstances, a multi vehicle policy may be able to include a range of vehicles.

This may include:

• Classic cars
• Vintage vehicles
• Modern cars
• Specialist vehicles
• Modified vehicles
• Motorhomes
• Classic commercial vehicles
• Collector vehicles
• Family vehicles
• Other eligible vehicles

Every policy is different, so it is important to speak to a broker who can check what can be included and what level of cover is suitable.

How multi vehicle insurance can save time

One of the biggest advantages of multi vehicle insurance is convenience.

Instead of keeping track of several renewal dates and policy documents, you may be able to bring your vehicles together under one arrangement.

This can make it easier to:

• Keep track of your insurance
• Review your cover each year
• Manage changes to your vehicles
• Add or remove vehicles where possible
• Keep documents in one place
• Speak to one team about your cover

For busy vehicle owners and collectors, this can make a real difference.

How multi vehicle insurance can save money

A multi vehicle policy may also help save money, depending on your vehicles, usage and circumstances.

Insurers may be able to take a broader view of your vehicles and how they are used. For example, not every vehicle may be driven every day. Some may be occasional-use vehicles, show vehicles, classic cars or weekend vehicles.

This can help create a more flexible insurance arrangement that reflects how the vehicles are actually used.

Savings are not guaranteed, but a multi vehicle policy can often be worth considering if you currently insure several vehicles separately.

This may include:

Information needed	Why it matters
Vehicle details	Insurers need to know the make, model, age and value of each vehicle
Vehicle use	Everyday use, leisure use, shows and occasional use may affect the policy

Providing accurate information helps make sure the policy properly reflects your vehicles and how you use them.

Multi vehicle insurance for collectors

Vehicle collectors often have very different insurance needs from standard car owners.

Some vehicles may be used regularly, while others may only be driven occasionally or taken to shows and events.

A multi vehicle policy can help bring these vehicles together in a more manageable way, while still considering the individual details of each vehicle.

This can be especially useful where a collection includes a mix of classic, vintage, specialist and modern vehicles.
