I'd buy a couple more cars, but the insurance is killing me.
My wife and I have six cars on a group policy. My wife only ever drives two of these, so I am the only driver of four of the cars. My insurance company makes me insure them all as if they could all be driven at the same time. I get a small discount for the "fleet" policy.
Is there any policy that would allow for the fact that I can't drive the four cars at the same time? My agent says I can call him to take them on and off the policy for a week at a time, but I may switch cars a couple of times on the same day.
How do you multiple owners deal with this? Is there a policy to insure any car I am driving.... that would not require full insurance on each car?
Thanks,
John

if you want to minimize your insurance hit and want more cars, buy classic cars and use the classic car insurance, or if you want a 993, buy a 1995. I was going to get a 95, had a rate quote just around $300/6 months, and then I bought the 96 targa. When I called my agent, the quote was almost $600/6 months. There was a slight surcharge for the Targa, but the biggest jump was from the MY95-MY96.
I have 10 cars on my insurance policy, fortunately half of the fleet are more than 25 years old and not daily drivers so the classic car insurance is relatively cheap for the insured values of those cars.

I'd find out up front if SFPD would be cool with you parking perpendicular to the curb, Rome-style! Would open up so many unused parking spaces for you...
