    Not true. I have been getting 10 month policies for the past 4 years (been driving for 7 though) I always get a new normal proof of NCB from Diamond, and nowhere on it does it state that I got it from a 10 month policy so other insurers will accept this.

    All it means is that i have to renew 2 months earlier every year.

    I always get Diamond to price match my cheapest quote so I have never had to move away from them.

    What he means, is that the majority of Insurers will not necessarily accept you as a new client after a ten month policy as having a years no claims bonus.

    In a lot of cases people would be better taking out a twelve months policy and have the entire market accept them as having a years no claims bonus.

    both grandparents are named drivers and my son is the registered keeper and main policy holder, he has mods declared, if he didn't have mods it would have been £800.
