Hi all. Am looking to get a comparable quote for a 4 car multi car insurance policy. More people seem to be doing it now (as well as Admiral) but struggling to find an insurer who would include all members of the family but not all of whom live at the same address. Anyone had experience of this?

Be aware that Admiral will migrate policies over to one policy as and when they expire with your existing insurer and then all policies will then expire on the same date....fine for the first year but year 2,3 and 4 they then whack you straight between the eyes on renewal Day....
I fell foul of this trick and then suddenly you are left trying to reinsure 4 cars on the same date which becomes a bit of a marathon...
I am now with Axa on a multi car policy for my cars and the missus... you are right in the fact they don’t like younger drivers and won’t touch them....as a result both of the kids car’s are with Admiral owned companies which I found via comparison sites...
Always worth negotiating with the insurance telesales on renewal.... knocked £40 off only yesterday with Axa on renewal of wife’s Cooper Works....
Good hunting!

Cheers! Crazy thing after spending hours on line I can get individual policies cheaper than the multicar quotes! Its definitely a racket that you can only crack, as you say, with negotiation.

Use those quotes to your advantage....I use confused.com and have set my account with all my cars...saves hours and hours of form filling... just as I receive my renewal I do a search and get the cheapest prices..
I then ring either Axa or Admiral and tell them I want to leave as I have cheaper quotes elsewhere..invariably Axa will price match at worst ... with Admiral they seem to own most of the smaller cheaper quoting companies using different brand names and will also negotiate a cheaper deal to keep them....
It definitely works and sometimes I wonder how they can insure so cheaply....

Aviva for us and they have become wise and no longer seem to push the prices up on renewal. As such its not worth the cost to move.
£220 for the PHEV and £419 for a multicar policy on my V8 / JCW.

caveat emptor!!!
I was with Admiral a few years ago. I ended up with 4 cars on the same policy.
Everything was fine until they pushed the price up.. then I looked to go elsewhere. The BIG BIG issue was that I LOST MY 20+ NCD on 3 out of the 4 cars!!
ie the new insurance providers would only accept that I had ONE POLICY.. so only 1 lot of NCD!!
caveat emptor! 1 TR6 Rusting away quietly

1 International Harvester SOLD
7 x D3 all SOLD
2 x D4 both SOLD
1 x Mrs D4 'Panther' SOLD
1 x Outlander van SOLD
1 continual stream of car parts and me living in the garage...

I've been with Admiral for a few years now as a single policy, but have just moved son no1, SWMBO and the house insurance on tot he policy and have made huge savings. Moving all the policy's to the same date is not an issue for me as I always put aside a few hour every year to get he best deals
Next year when the quote is due, I will still search around both for individual quotes and multi quotes to make sure I get the best price possible
Only problem for me now though is my 'No fault' accident that has to b e declared next year 
My advice would be to move to Admiral (Or similar) if you can get a great price, but always be prepared to put the legwork in and move policy(s) again next year  Iggy/Ieuan

Totally agree with Iggy.....
The other thing that worked for us was that we got a full years discount for a 9month period that we added our lad onto the multi car policy....which helped us enormously....
Axa likewise have also been excellent upon renewal and amazingly always came back cheaper than advertised on a comparison site...
You just need to play the game and be prepared to move... tell them you’re leaving and they always seem to be able to drop the price further to retain you as a customer!
