I use them as I need, so it's easier to keep them on the policy. Removing cars from the policy doesn't have a great deal of affect on the cost when they are covered by a multi car policy.
Most insurance companies have an off road cover that costs £50 a year, so it would cost me more to insure them as off-road vehicles than vehicles on a multi car policy. Strange but true!
I have confirmed with my insurance company about this, although the one question (without going offf topic too much) they have been unable to answer is "Am I covered if I am towing one vehicle behind thye other on a trailer/dolly and they are both on the same policy"
I have never done this because my camper van is on a seperate policy, but it was interesting that they couldn't answer that one and they are the leading company dealing with multi car classic policies.
PS: I also have one vehicle that I declared SORN about three years ago and they have never been in contact about renewing the SORN.
Funny though I recently received a new style V5 for that vehicle, I seem to be getting a constant flow of new V5's these days.
