No claims discount can only be earned and used by the policyholder.
We would not be able to confirm your policy with a no claims discount that is NOT in the name of the policyholder.
We are also not able to use a no claims discount in the name of your spouse. In addition to this, please note that the main driver and the policyholder can be different. If you are the main driver but not the policyholder, unfortunately we will not be able to confirm the policy with your proof of no claims discount.
You can only use the number of years gained with your previous insurer under one vehicle/policy.
We can accept proof of no claims discount earned for a different vehicle if the discount is no longer used for any other vehicle.
If your no claims discount states a different vehicle to the one we are insuring and you are not using on any other vehicles, please confirm this to us when you send us the proof. This will speed up the process of confirming your policy.
