Company Car driver so No NCD - Help

I have driven a company car for the last 6 years, and I have no opted out of the company scheme. I will receive a monthly allowance and will claim business miles at teh appropriate rates.

However what do I do about insurance, I have no NCD due to not having my own insurance for 5 years. Is there any way I can 'cash in' on being a careful company car driver ? Or do I have to bite the bullet and claim no NCD ?

Any help much appreciated.

    When I did this, I got the guy who organised all the company car stuff to write me a letter saying I had driven for x years with no accidents etc etc. I presented it to the insurance company who gave me the equivalent NCB. The only issue is I can't remember which insurance company it was - it might've been churchill :)

    When I went from having a company car to a private car, my insurance company accepted my driving record as was and gave me a NCD based on that. I am with Direct Line.

    Likewise Esure will accept Company Car NCD. If you can get a letter from both companies I think they will accept it is full NCD.
