Admiral MultiCar
Admiral MultiCar is Admiral’s most famous car insurance product. This allows you to insure multiple cars under one policy to keep your renewal dates the same, keep one set of paperwork, and potentially save money (although not always).
On average, customers with two vehicles saved £179 [2] with Admiral Multicar, compared to buying two separate policies.
Admiral telematics / black box car insurance (Admiral LittleBox)
Admiral also offers black box (also known as telematics) insurance. Although this is usually targeted at younger drivers, drivers of any age can have a black box fitted and potentially have their premiums reduced.
A LittleBox will be fitted to your car within 14 days of purchasing the policy, which will measure speeding, smoothness, cornering and when you drive. If you often drive at night, then it might not be worth having a LittleBox policy, as this will increase your premium.
Your insurance will be priced on how you drive, not just where you live and how old you are. Safer drivers will receive discounts on their driving and you’ll be able to see how good you are as a driver, as well as receiving tips on how to improve.
You can purchase Admiral LittleBox through Caura here.
