Protected No Claims Discount (NCD)
Protecting your Motorbike No Claims Discount (NCD)
If you have accumulated 4 or more years No Claims Discount (NCD), also known as No Claims Bonus (NCB), and have no more than one claim in the past five years, you can protect your NCD by paying an additional premium. This cover only applies where your Policy Schedule shows ‘Protected NCD’ as being purchased.
Protected NCD does not protect the overall price of your policy. The price of your policy may increase following an accident even if you were not at fault, however it does ensure your no claims discount is not reduced, further impacting your renewal premium.
If you have no more than 2 claims in any 5-year period, your NCD entitlement will be unchanged and your NCD will not be reduced. If you make 2 claims in any 5-year period your NCD protection will end, meaning that the third and any further claims will reduce your NCD as detailed in Table 2 below.
