Default People who chop and change cars a lot.. insurance wise

I get bored of cars easily, every few months i will change my car and everytime I end up an hour on the phone to my insurers, being passed from department to department, then being charged a fee for this, admin fee for that plus extra on my monthly premium regardless of car it always went up per month with each change.

Is there any insurers where i can basically log into them online, change the details that way, accept and confirm and bingo a new policy drops through my door a week later without the cost and aggro of a awkward phonecall? I don't mind paying admin fees but seriously the last 2 times ive changed my car ive had to give 3 valid reasons why ive changed my vehicle! Is it really that hard for them to change a registration number on a policy, print it out and post it me?

Yeah with mine i can change 3 times no questions asked. £15 admin fee. Once you go over 3 cars you have to explain why, £15 admin fee and then a bump of £15 - £20 on my insurance per month.

I was with swift the other year, when I called, the girl advised i should do it online as they wont charge admin fees for changing if I do it online myself.

If i see a bargain on ebay i tend to snap it up if i can make profit on it. I then go pick it up which means ive then got to transfer my insurance to insure it and then transfer it back to my other car a few weeks down the line. On my 10th car now and never made less than £400 profit but its pointless me having multicar or traders insurance as i may buy 2 in one month but wont buy one for another 3 - 4 months. Just want something hassle free to chop/change as and when i need to without the idiotic question and aggro phonecalls.
