    Question More than one policy

    hi all,

    Has anyone heard of getting more than one insurance policy for the same car, surely this would be legal (like life assurance) and then luckily having a bad accident (which you escape unscathed) leaving the car a write-off.

    I.e,

    Say cars worth 5k, you have 5 inurance policys with diffferent companys,

    Thats 25k, take away actual cost of 5 policys, say 5k and new car another 5k,

    So thats 15k for having a crash.

    Can this be done?

    To the point I guess,

    But why no?

    Sorry if this has been brought up before, haven't got time to search.

    why would you want to, if the car is insured correctly to the right value etc what would be the point in double insurence, unless you were trying to get more back for the car than it was worth, then would that not be fraud.
    :kissass :cry: Hmm I wonder which 3 this is ????
