NCB is No Claim Bonus, also referred to as No Claim Discount. You earn NCB by completing a 12-month policy, in your name, without having, or being involved in, any incidents that your insurance company have to pay out for.

You can request a copy of your NCB by phone on 01527 390 271 or by email.
Call our customer service team on 01527 390 271 and they will be able to process any changes for you. Any changes we make can alter the way an insurance company calculates your premium.

Please bear in mind that, as your broker, we do make a charge for administering your policy and we may also keep our commission on any refunds. You can view our charges in our terms and conditions which can be accessed here.
