Car insurance - second and third occupation

My main occupation is a software engineer. I'm also a director of a small online company that I run with a friend. In a few days, I'm going to become a director of another company which runs a local gym.

I spend most of my time in my main occupation. Should I declare my second and third occupation when I become director of the two companies? Come renewal, if car insurance websites only allow me to enter one or two occupations, should I ring them up and let them know of my third occupation?

    Only if you want to actually be properly insured.

    If you dont mind the risk of them not paying if you need to claim then carry on.

    My question wasn't sinister. I wanted to know the ins and outs of occupations with car insurance. I wasn't after a condescending reply. Thanks all the same.

    go for engineer first and company director second.

    When you find a policy you are happy with ring them and advise them you are director of two companies...repeat until you find a company you can work with
