Can I protect my no claims whilst living abroad?

Emanef

Hi all

I have full no claims (15 years plus) but have recently moved abroad, so sold my car and cancelled my car insurance.

I'm worried that when I come back in x years I'll lose my no claims bonus - is there any way of protecting them?

My sister (in the UK) has suggested having me added as a named driver on her policy and is going to try to find out if that would protect my no claims - does that sound like an option?

Or is there any other way to protect them?

Thanks!

It's normally 2 years.
Putting yourself as a named driver on another policy probably won't help

Insure a car (you intend buying) every 2 years, then (as the sale collapses) cancel the insurance during the cooling off period.

A new proof of NCD will be issued dated from the cancellation date.

(Look for the companies with the lowest cancellation fees)

(The named driver wheeze is a non starter)

Do you not have a car and insurance in the un-named foreign country you are now in?

I managed to transfer my insurance within the EU.

You may be in the 'Land of far far away' of course.

No, we have a lease car (we're in the UAE) so insurance is included in the price.
