Well based on the limited responses (not supprised now looking at teh results) the insurance is a lot cheaper than i thought, although everyone so far has 5yr no claims (wonder if that makes a big difference?)



Many thanks to those taking part in the poll.

5 yrs no-claims usually means you save 60-65% of the premium. So if the premium with 5 years no-claims is ?500 it will be approx. ?1,400 with none - so it can make quite a difference! :think:

Just renewed my policy last week. 4 years no claims, age 43, 3 points on licence, DMS re-map, live in Kent (Whitstable) and car kept on private driveway, Privilege car insurance ?442. I thought that was a great price! next best was around the ?550 mark.

Some bargains still to be had with a bit of shopping around :thumbsup:

Ah-ha - there is a nice little marketing catch, here. Actually, the no-claim discount is just over 50%!

What insurance companies normally do is:

1 year: 30%
2 years: 10% off the 1 year NCB premium
3 years: 10% off the 2 year
4 years: 10% off the 3 year
5 years+: 5% off the 4 year

total: 51.5% - not 65%. I think this should go under the Trades Descriptions Act as fraudulent :nono:, but never mind. The basic premium still ends up above ?1000.

First I've heard of that... Most docs I've seen quite clearly list the full percentage discount? However, it's the final figures that counts!
