no claims bonus

jennyo

my husbands insurance is due end of Jan, for a short time last feb he had 2 vehicles, the old one he sold had 6 years no claims on it, while the new vehicle he insured as he got it a month before selling the other will only have one years no claims. when we renew insurance on the only vehicle we now have in January can he use the 6 years no claims. Thanks

As long as you've got "proof of no claims" from the Insurer i can't see why not.

I always thought NO claims bonuses stayed with the driver and not the car though. Unless you stop insuring a car period then the bonuses still accrue

thanks for your reply, yes they do stay with a driver, but if you need to insure a second vehicle in the same name you start again, we were originally going to keep both vehicles, but changed our minds after a couple of weeks

Oh right,

I've never insured more than one car at a time tbh. Will the insurance co not inform you of what's what?

Maybe best from them as it's what they do

Yes, you can use the 6 years no claims, providing it is less than two years old.
Shop round for a new policy, then send them the proof of the 6 years ncd.

Yes he will be fine, you can only use your no claims on one policy at a time, but seeing that he sold his other car just get proof of no claims and swap it over.

thanks for your replies, i'll get on to the old insurance co. tomorrow.
