Any insurers offer NCB for named drivers?

Family member is a named driver in a motor insurance policy for 3 years. She is 34 and thought best to get her own policy. She passed her test 3 years ago. Does any insurers offer NCB for named drivers or does she has to start from nil NCB?
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    You have to buy insurance as well as have no claims to get NCB.

    See if a broker can help by getting an introductory discount to reflect her 3 years incident free record.
  • Hi, I could be wrong but something seems to tell me that Direct Line offer NCB for named drivers

  • She will start from nil NCB unless the policy she was a named driver on states she will get ncb!

    They have a "marketing" type NCB for named drivers. (ie you cannot go there and say "I have been a named driver elsewhere and never made a claim", and be given a NCD off a new policy with them).

    It's got to be earned first by being a named driver on a DL policy.

    And can only be used when the named driver subsequently buys their own DL policy.
  • You may be able to get an introductory bonus by being a named driver on a policy, if your family member approaches the same insurance company. Worth a try I guess.

    So does diamond, they mirrored my NCB on our 2nd car, even though my partner was to be the main driver instead of me.
