Will any insurance company take my time with company car as 'no claims'?

Hi all - just after a bit of advice.

I have been driving a company car for 4 years without a claim. Does anybody know of any insurers who would at least take a bit of this towards a 'no claims discount'. I am about to buy my own car and hand the company car back.

Seems a bit tough that I have to start all over again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had company cars for over 15 years, when I went back to running my own I queried this with various insurance companies, most will accept a letter from the company confirming you have not had any accidents or claims against you, at the time I went with Direct Line and they gave me full no claims discount.

    You're lucky, I had letters from 2 previous employers stating I had no claims or accidents and did not get anywhere as I was not a named driver on the company policies, as there were open policies, I got a year's introductory bonus with Quinn-direct

    mmm - my company policy is an open policy so I won't be named. Anyone else have any experience either way?
