Protected No Claims Bonus for Cherished Classic Cars
A way to safeguard your no claims discount is to pay an additional amount on top of your classic or cherished car insurance to protect it. This means that even if you were to make a claim, your no claims bonus would stay intact.
Important information:
No Claims Discount Protection does not protect the overall price of your insurance policy. The price of your classic or vintage car insurance policy may increase following an accident even if you were not at fault.
No claims discount protection allows you to make one or more claims before your number of no claims bonus years falls. Please see the step-back procedure for details.
Legal Expenses
If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident where the other driver is identifiable and is also at fault, our Motor Legal Expense policy will give you a stress free service to recover 100% of your uninsured losses. For a small cost this service will give full management of your claim from start to finish, together with legal advice, available 24 hours a day.
