HELP WITH NO CLAIMS DISCOUNT PLEASE

I'm just renewing my car insurance with help (for the first time) from this site.

My current company has sent me a quote and tells me that I have 75% protected no claim discount. Can anyone tell me what this translates to in years please. I would ring the company up and ask myself but they shut at 8pm.

Thanks for any help.

    as standard it looks like maximum no claims is after 4 years

    You haven't said who your insurer is. 75% could mean a variety of answers with different insurers. In addition as all insurers stop allocating additional discount after a certain number of years (sometimes as low as 4) the % discount is not a useful guide to how many years NCB you have. You need to dig out your documentation from previous years and tot it up, or phone them and ask.
  • Thanks for your advice. I rang my insurance company and it turns out that I have 8 years NCD.

    It looks like that I could save about £200 on my insurance from using the advice on this site. So thank you very much to everyone. I wish I'd used it earlier.
