What is a No Claims Discount (NCD)?

A No Claims Discount is a reduction on your comprehensive car insurance premium. For every year you drive a car without making a claim to your insurance provider, you earn a discount that lowers your renewal costs.

The more years of no claims you build up, the larger your discount becomes, ensuring you have cheaper car insurance.

How long does a no claims discount last?

A No Claims Discount lasts as long as you don’t make a claim to your insurance provider. If you have a clean bill of health in a year of driving, your No Claims Discount will increase when you renew your insurance.

It will continue to roll, year on year, as long as you’re not forced into making a claim because of a collision with another vehicle.

What happens to your no claims discount if you make a claim?

When making a claim, you’ll likely reduce or reset your No Claims Discount, which may raise your premium.

You usually lose two years of No Claims Bonus per at-fault claim. However, for non-fault claims, windscreen damage, and having a ‘protected’ No Claims Discount, you’ll keep your figure intact.

If you’re responsible for an accident and your insurer pays out to the other party, this directly impacts your No Claims Discount bonus. Most insurance providers tend to use a ‘step-back’ scale. For example, if you have five years of NCD and make an at-fault claim, it will drop by two or three years. If you make multiple claims, you could lose your entire discount.

I cannot recommend Rigby Financial enough. Both Jeremy and Josh have helped me with my financials and helped to explain all of the confusing technical terms so that it's all less daunting! Jeremy is extremely responsive and is always on hand to answer any of my questions. Being a first time buyer, Josh has been unbelievably prompt with his emails and keeps me updated at every stage, answering all my somewhat daft questions and putting my mind at ease. Thoroughly recommend!

As a business, we have used both the Insurance and Financial services of Rigby Financial for many years now. They take care of our Business Insurance, Cyber Insurance, Motor Trade Insurance, Company Pension Scheme, Group Life Cover, Private Medical Cover, Financial Investments and Employee Financial Planning Advice and we have always found them to be both efficient and highly professional in all aspects of the services provided. They take great interest in the specific needs of our business and have always given us clear well informed up to date advice to ensure we are well protected in a world that is ever changing. Our account managers are friendly, helpful and always available when needed. Outside of the business relationship, on a personal level I use Rigby Financial for my private home and car insurance along with their pension planning, investments and life cover. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Rigby Financial to both businesses and private individuals.

I have dealt with Rigby for a number years whilst building and operating my property business. They facilitated insurance on single dwelling properties to large multi unit development projects. I can always rely on them to sort the insurance side of my business, with minimal oversight or need for my involvement. I feel confident in recommending them to anyone.

We own Bold Vets in St Helens and working with Rigby Insurance has been a godsend, taking all of the stress away from ensuring we’re covered for every eventuality. They’re straightforward, professional but friendly. Everything a family run business should be! They’ve helped us with everything from car insurance to more specialist veterinary practice cover. We highly recommend Andrew and the team and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Arcoframe has used Rigby Insurance for nearly 20 years, and the level of service we've received has always been excellent. They handle all of our insurance needs, including our fleet of vans as well as buildings and contents insurance. Our main point of contact throughout the years has been Keiren, who has consistently gone above and beyond to assist us. He’s always been helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to respond whenever we’ve needed support or advice. We highly recommend Rigby Insurance to any business looking for a reliable and professional insurance partner.

When we were looking to replace our insurance advisor our criteria was to have a more personal service and deal with the same person and not a call centre, Rigby Financial was exactly what we were looking for. No matter if it was for renewal, adjusting the cover or to make a claim, the interpersonal experience and advice from Rugby Financial has been second to none!
