Dual Car Insurance?

Hi All,
We have a car but DH only has a provisional licence. He did pass his full car driving test but rode a scooter most of the time. He accumulated 6 points within the first two years of passing the car test (he already had 3 and earned another 3). I am the insured driver on our car and DH is a named driver on his provisional, obviously only allowed to drive with me and "L" plates.
We are now looking at getting a 2nd car as we will need to drop our DS off to school so DH has also GOT to re-take his test.
In the meantime, can I be the main insured and he the named driver on two vehicles? Do all insurance companies do dual insurance and is there anyway I can get a quote online so I can just have an estimate at how much we would be looking at paying?
Thanks
Naomi

You can insure as many cars as you like, and if you are truly the main driver of them all, then you can be. If not, then you can still name another driver as the main driver.
Not all companies do dual insurance (if you mean one policy to cover two cars), though it is often cheaper to have seperate policies using cashback sites thereby getting two seperate cashback payments.0
