Motorcycle to Car - No Claims Bonus

Arno

Hi,

I currently sit with 5 years NCB that I would like to use on insuring my new car. I have sold the motorcycle and the insurance policy has ended so the NCB is not currently in use.

Could someone send me the name of an insurer that do accept this motorcycle NCB please?

I have called about 15 insurers today who have all informed me that they do NOT accept it. I will list the names of my current progress for anyone else that ever comes across this. I would however still appreciate input from anyone who has successfully managed this.

Names who refuse to accept motorcycle NCB towards a car.
Hastings (this includes Essential, Premier and Direct)
Octagon
Esure
Sheilas Wheels
People's Choice
GoSkippy
Debenhams
1st Central
Premier Choice
esure Broker
Devitt Insurance
Carole Nash (unless you currently have a motorbike insured with them)

Companies that do accept
eCar (bought by Brightside) - They take full motorcycle insurance NCB (I went with them)
Tesco - 4 years max. They do however still charge me twice as much compared to Hastings who accepted 0 NCB
The Co-Op - They accept 1 year motorcycle NCB (their system is down so they can't quote me yet)

I will update as I get more info

Thank you

Try looking in motorcycle forums, or googling the question with the words "motorcycle forum" in it.

The good news, is that generally after the first year of you insuring with a company who accept the motorbike no claims bonus. Most Insurers will issue a normal private car no claims bonus so the entire car insurance market will open up for you.

You may need to take a hit on the premium for the first year with one of the companies who accept it to get hold of a standard no claims bonus proof
