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, yours 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.
