A no-claims bonus (NCB) is a discount offered by insurers for each year you don’t make a claim on your car insurance policy. It’s a reward for safe driving and can significantly reduce your premium over time.
Accumulation:
NCBs accumulate annually, with higher discounts for more claim-free years (up to a certain limit).
Protection:
Some insurers offer “no-claims bonus protection,” which allows you to make a limited number of claims without affecting your NCB.
Transferability:
If you switch insurers, you can usually transfer your NCB to your new policy.
Keep in mind that if you make a claim, your NCB may be affected, and your premium could increase.
