Cancelling Trade policy - Losing NCB

Hi,

I have held a traders policy for the past 5 years... no claims / accidents

Prior to that i had 2 seperate policies for 2 of my cars - both having 7 years NCB

So in total, ive had 12 years without accident / incident

Due to changing family circumstances, i dont get to work on cars as much and the traders policy isnt practicle.

That been said, i am really struggling to find any insurer who will take my trade policy no claims into consideration.

The Broker has advised that they will get my trade insurer to supply a no claims cert, showing 5 years no claims, and an additional note that i had 7 years no cliams prior to commencing a trader polciy.

Unfortunetly, ive spoke to several companies today ( best quotes on confused / go compare etc based on 5 / 12 years NCB) and none are willing to accept any NCB. I spoke to Direct line, who will take the last 5 years into consideration.

There were a couple of posts from people having similar issues a while back, but with no conclusion. Can anybody recommend any companies which will take my claim free history into account.

Thanks

    My mate couldnt find any that would accept his no claims from a trade policy.

    He ended up insuring it in his wifes name with him as the main driver.
