Well I insure my Escort on a classic policy and that then allows me to use my xx years of no claims to insure the Fiesta. My missus then insures the Audi

some do deals if you take both out at the same time ie. at renewal with same company.
and some will do an introductory discount i think to help with the lack of no claims

use your other half,mother,father with you as a named driver or try a traders policy maybe?
when i went self employed and got a van the insurance company asked me why i had no no claims to transfer.when i told them all my no claims were on my car they gave me two years on the van for free.

I have two cars insured on separate policies with Greenlight, I get to use my NCB on one policy but I do get a discount on the other policy too. Also the NCB accrues on both policies which is good.

I had my RST insured with Elephant, and then brought an ST170 as a daily driver and they gave me a second cheap policy, with 5 years NCD to kick it off because I had 8 years NCD on my main policy already - sorted eh

Also they gave me extra discount at renewal time because of 'regular use of another car' i.e. i was spreading my travelling (and risk) between two cars/policies.
