Some insurance companies have a big break when you have more cars than
drivers. ie. if you have two drivers in the family you need three cars to
get it. This is based on the theory that you can't be driving all of them
at once. I never found that more cars were cheaper to add, but if you like
to have an extra car around, it make it very cheap. Also look for big
discounts on older cars (if they are 25+ and not your primary car). Plates
and insurance on an old car can be ~$50 in NY. Some of the old supercars
are getting close and are worth hanging on to if you have one.
