How Does the No Claims Bonus Work?
A No Claims Bonus (NCB) or No Claims Discount (NCD) is a discount that you may receive on your car insurance premium for each consecutive full year that you have not made a claim, starting from one year. The scale varies between insurers, but if you've had no claims in five or more years, you're likely to get a significant discount on your premium.
3) It is not necessary to purchase this optional extra in order to purchase a car Insurance policy.
4) Acceptance of Named Driving Experience and Named Driving Experience discount differs from insurer to insurer. Please refer to our policy booklets for full cover details and terms and conditions that apply. Discounts, cover limits, and terms and conditions are dependent on your car insurance underwriter and those applicable to you will be outlined in your policy documents.
Our protected No Claims Discount option allows you to have either one or two unlimited claims in a three year period, without losing your No Claims Discount depending on your policy underwriter. The number of claims free years you hold will determine if you are eligible to purchase this optional extra with each of our car insurance underwriters.
This is a partial protection of your No Claims Bonus. In the event of a claim, your No Claims Bonus will step-back by a certain percentage, this amount will depend on your car insurance underwriter. The number of claims free years you hold will determine if you are eligible to purchase this optional extra with each of our car insurance underwriters.
A No Claims Discount usually lasts for two years from the date that your last policy in your own name ends. You do not earn a No Claims Discount unless you are the policyholder of the car insured.

I recently renewed my car insurance, and the process was seamless from start to finish. The team was professional, efficient, and took the time to explain my options clearly. What stood out most was their excellent customer service—friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist with any questions. I truly appreciated the hassle-free experience and the speediness of the process. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free renewal process!
