What the insurance companies don't want you to know
...or at least, what they don't want to tell you about. The long version It was renewal time for our two car insurance policies. Prudential turned out cheapest for both, partly thanks to Quidco's generous £130 cash back. While applying for the first policy, I compared paying monthly against making a one-off payment for the…

2 Car Insurance Policy - Best Provider?
Hi, I'm looking around to find a policy that allows me to insure 2 cars on the same policy. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good (cheapest!) provider?
