Over insured - do I need to buy legal cover twice? - davidh
Hi All,

I have an every day car - the comprehensive insurance policy has legal protection on it for about £18 extra.

I also have a classic car policy for my second car which also has legal protection on it and the whole policy is due for renewal.

Do I need to buy this legal cover again for my classic and have two legal policies or can I get legal representation from my main cars insurance if I ever needed it?

Thanks in advance.

(PS I know its only potentially an 18 quid saving but I'm a die hard Yorkshireman)

David.

I'd be careful describing it as "only" £18 then - you could be chucked out.....

Check your policy details, but I would have thought each policy covers you only for collisions relating to that car, rather than any car you own.

Check your house insurance as well, you may find you're paying a third time over...

Take out a Shell Mastercard - motoring legal cover is Free - spend a little on the card and "save a little""
