Multi car insurance allows you to put all your vehicles on the same policy together, with one renewal date and one premium. In the first year that you set up your multi car policy, you would simply add each of your vehicles as they come up for renewal on their current insurance.

You would pay a pro rata rate for each vehicle you add, based on the time left to the multi car policy renewal date. Then, on the renewal date for your multi car policy, all your vehicles would be renewed together with one premium. The only requirement for Heritage multi car insurance is that one or more of your vehicles is a classic or specialist vehicle.

Heritage multi car insurance can cover a wide range of vehicles as well as classics, including modern cars and daily drivers, motorcycles, campervans, vans and motorhomes. As long as you have at least one classic or specialist vehicle on the policy, you should be eligible for multi car insurance with us.

You can cover as many vehicles as you like under a multi car policy, as long as they are registered to a person at the same address i.e., your spouse, common law partner, parents etc. You can also cover up to 5 drivers.

You can get a discount of up to 25% depending on how many vehicles and how many drivers you have on your multi car policy with us. The best way to find out how much you could save is to give our multi car team a call on 0121 248 9470 or email multicar@heritagecarinsurance.co.uk

Your first payment will be the premium to cover the first of your vehicles – this will be due when you set the policy up. You can choose to pay upfront or put your insurance payments on finance over ten months. For each vehicle you add, you will need to pay a pro rata premium from the date you add it to the renewal date of your multi car policy. This can be added to your monthly payments, or you can choose to pay it upfront if you wish.

You will earn a no claims bonus for any modern cars on your Heritage multi car policy, but any classic car on your policy will not earn no claims bonus.

If your classic car is insured with Heritage, you are able to choose who you would like to include as named drivers.

Yes, we can offer cover for temporary additional drivers.

This may affect your insurance premium, so it’s important to notify us of the storage address for your vehicle.

If you wanted to use your car as wedding transport for a friend and weren’t charging them, you would be covered and there is no extra charge on your insurance. If you charge for your classic to be used as a wedding car, you’ll need a specific kind of insurance cover called hire and reward.

You can pay for your classic car insurance using all major credit/debit cards except American Express, you can also pay over the phone, by cheque or BACS. We also offer the option to pay on a monthly basis for many policies.

If you have asked the garage to repair your car, then you would pay the excess to the garage. Make sure you get a receipt for the payment as insurers will want to see proof of payment in the event you need to reclaim your excess.

If your vehicle is a total loss, the agreed value is the amount an insurer will pay minus your policy excess, if you have agreed value on your policy. For example, if your agreed valuation was £12,000 and your excess totalled £1,000, your insurer would pay £11,000.

If you don’t have agreed value on your policy, you will be paid the going market rate at the time of the claim. Heritage offers free agreed value to help you protect the value of your classic car – just ask when you take out your policy.

The value of your car is dependent on market trends and desirability. Keep a check on auctions, price guides and speak to clubs if you’re a member of one. Please note that Heritage are not valuers but we can provide a classic car valuation, free of charge and issue you an agreed valuation certificate.

If you need an independent valuation, you can ask a car club official, specialist dealer or restorer.

There is no set period for how long your agreed valuation remains valid; at Heritage we will normally review every two years to make sure it’s still an accurate value. We also recommend that you keep an eye on market values. If you feel the agreed valuation needs reassessing you should contact us.

Yes, we can. We cater for a wide range of car and 4×4 modifications. Just let us know when you request a quote what modifications you have.

Many modifications won’t affect your premium, and there is no specific list of modifications that will. Your premium is generally affected when certain combinations of modifications are added. As all our policies are individually tailored to you, it’s best to speak to us and we’ll guide you through.

You will need to notify us of any additional modifications to your car(s). Give us a call on 0121 248 9229.
