No claims bonus discount?

Hi

I have built up 6 years No Claims Bonus but I didn't renew my policy this year as I don't use my car much and was planning to pass the ownership to my dad.

My dad has just added me as a named driver on his policy but I have just thought am I going to pay for this in the long term by not keeping the insurance in my name? :(

I may have done a silly thing but I thought I'd be saving some money this year to get rid of a car I hardly use.

My insurance was around £300 if I decide I want to build up my no claims' again does it mean I have to start from scratch? :eek:

    I believe that for most maintream insurers that if you don't have insurance for 2 years you will lose your NCD. Best bet is to speak to your last insurer and ask them specifically.
