    Not if you're a private individual.

    I the vehicles are all owned by one of your businesses or a number of your businesses then it's a possibility.

    Why do you want a company fleet policy, is it to save money or for young drivers etc?

    You need to be a business to take out a fleet policy.


    I think admiral (not a recommendation) will do all 5 on their normal multicar policy

    It would not save you money in the long run.

    Are you fairly rich? and if so are the cars exotic?

    No but think they are around 2k per year which is much cheaper than 4 car insurance

    Where are you getting that from?

    I know of fleets that range from £400 per vehicle to £5000 per vehicle.

    So is it per car? I spoke to a dealer and he said he pays 2k for all of his cars

    If you are talking about a motor dealer, then it is rated completely differently, and only available if you are in the motor trade.

    There are, or at least have been, some private fleet policies. UK Insurance used to write it but it was telephone only.

    I can register a motor trade and then maybe start that job but also insure all of my cars?
