Please refer to the policy benefits section or “What is a No Claim Bonus?” .

Protected No Claim Discount: You can make 2 unlimited claims in a 3 year period with no effect on your No Claims Bonus (NCB). Subsequent claims will step back the NCB by 30%. (Excl. 2 Fire/Theft claims or Windscreen).
Step Back No claim Discount: If you make a single claim or one arises during any period of insurance, we will reduce your No Claim Discount by 30% e.g. 50% to 20%, 40% to 10%, 30% or less to nil.
No Claim Discount Protection for Fire/Theft/Windscreen: Any payment we make for fire, theft, or windscreen claims will not affect your No Claim Discount.
