What is the best 4 a husband & wife with 2 car

Hi

I wonder if you can show me the best way to insure my car. Today is its renew date and I'm not sure what to do! (might sound stupid ;)

Here is the situation:

We have 2 cars which belong to each of us.
His is insured under liverpool victoria(exp: August) and mine under Tesco. (expiery date: tomorrow!)

Both cars have been insured under the owner's name with the spouse as a 2nd driver.

He always uses our family Ford Mondeo car(owner: me) to go to work and I take his(the cheapest & smallest car) for going shopping!
We both had a 9 year no claim discount before an accident:
My husband had the accident driving my car on his way to work. As mentioned, he was covered as a 2nd driver under my insurance. Tesco says it had some effect on my insurance premium, too!!!

NOW:
What's the best and cheapest way for insuring the cheap car? Same other car insurance company(Liverpool Victoria) or renewing Tesco insurance?

Should I insure this car under his name as his second car and put my name as a second driver?(I rarely drive this car although I'm the legal owner.)

Or as before insure it under my name and add him as a 2nd driver?

Please advise ???
