Car insurance renewal time and we have a multicar policy with Admiral. Quote had come through at over £880 for the two cars. Son works for Direct Line and gets a discount so as his was the major part of the quote decided it was obvious to give them a go. I fill in my details and to kick it off their data base tells me that my 2013 Focus ST3 is in fact a post 2004 2.0 Titanium. Submit the real details and get a very reasonable quote, cheaper than what my insurance had been 2yrs ago when I bought the car. It then invites me to submit the details of further cars for a multi car quote, except it won't give a quote on a second car.
My son finds out he needs to get a quote online, then phone to activate his discount, then he can add my car to the policy. Son gets his quote and discount but they can't add my car to the policy as it is against the data protection act. They must have changed the data protection act in the last 12 months then as that is exactly what I did last year with Admiral. But I need to get a quote adding the fact that another car in the household is insured by Direct Line to get a multicar policy. So I did just that, did it save me money did it f***. It came back with a quote for an extra £40 over my quote from the other day, so I bought the first one instead.
