Protected No claim discount

It's a way of keeping your No claim discount (NCD) even when you have to make a claim on your policy.

If you have 3 or more years NCD we may be able to offer you protected NCD depending upon your previous claims history.

If you have 3 years No claim discount (NCD) we may be able offer you the option to protect it. 3 years Protected NCD enables you to make one at fault claim before your No claim discount is affected.

If you have 4 or more years NCD, we may be able offer you the option to protect it. 4 years or more protected NCD enables you to make up to two at fault claims in any three year period before you lose your protection.

Certain types of claims won’t affect your No claim discount at all:

  • Emergency medical treatment
  • Glass repair or replacement

Please see our NCD table below for further information:

Motor legal services

An accident that wasn't your fault, or accused of a road traffic offence, we'll find you expert legal advice to recover money spent and secure compensation.

  • If you or any named drivers are involved in a motor accident which is not your/their fault, we will cover up to £100,000 legal costs for a lawyer to pursue compensation from the driver who is to blame (e.g. personal injury, your excess, travel expenses).
    The lawyer will discuss your case with you and represent you if they believe that it is more likely than not that your claim will be successful. We will also pay your legal costs should your claim not be successful.
  • Up to £10,000 legal costs for a lawyer to defend you or any named drivers if you’re being prosecuted for a motoring offence (e.g. speeding).
  • 24 hour UK legal helpline – confidential legal advice on motoring issues (e.g. private vehicle sale).

Hire Car

In addition to the standard Courtesy car cover, if you select the Hire Car option, a replacement car is provided by one of our approved repairers and is available for the duration of any repairs and if your car is stolen or written off, we provide a hire car until an offer is made to settle the claim (up to a maximum of 21 days).

Designed to keep you mobile during the period of your claim, this option should satisfy the needs of most customers. A standard courtesy car is typically a small, 3 door, 1 litre hatchback model.
