No claims bonus protection (NCBP) doesn't protect the overall price of your insurance policy. The price of your insurance policy may increase following an accident even if you weren't at fault.
NCBP allows you to make one or more claims before your number of no claims bonus (NCB) years falls. Please see our step-back procedures below for details.
Example - how your NCB would be affected at renewal if you made a claim or claims during the period of insurance.
Number of years NCB at the start of your policy |
NCB at next renewal without NCB protection |
NCB at next renewal with NCB protection |
