    Most insurers will only accept No Claims Discount for 2 years. Some 3 years.

    I think you should obtain the No Claims Discount in your previous name, and advise your new insurer accordingly regarding the change of name.

    As stated above, depending on when the last policy expired, most insurers may not accept the NCD. Please be sure to check with whichever company quotes. If some insurer accepts the NCD, but at a higher premium, this may be a price worth paying for 12 months, and next year you will be free to move insurer with your NCD having ticked forward a year.

    Good luck
