Do named drivers get no claims Admiral?
Each policyholder on the MultiCar policy builds up their own no claims bonus. If one policyholder makes a claim and loses some or all of their no claims bonus, it doesn’t affect the other policyholders. If a named driver makes a claim, it will affect the policyholder’s NCB.
How do I get my no claims bonus from Admiral?

Is 9 years no claims the maximum?
So long as you make no claims in a year, the number should keep ticking up. In reality, most insurance providers cap the maximum no-claims discount at around 5 years. Some insurance companies do go beyond this – you might find an insurer willing to give you a discount on 8 or 9 years’ worth of no-claims.

How does no claim bonus work?
If you don’t make a claim on your car insurance, your insurer will give you what is known as a car insurance no claim bonus. This is a discount on your future premiums, cutting down the cost you will pay for your insurance when you renew your policy. Discounts of 60% or more are possible from some insurers.
Why does no claims bonus expire?
That depends on your insurance provider and how long it’s been since you last had cover.

That’s why it pays to shop around and ask questions.

Do I lose my no claims if not my fault?
A no claims bonus (NCB), or more correctly a no claims discount, is awarded if you don’t claim in the latest policy year. Even if you have an accident that wasn’t your fault – you’re hit by an uninsured driver, or your car gets stolen – you could lose your NCB, and your premium could even go up at renewal.
How many years no claims do you lose after an accident?
Each insurer will have their own rules about how long you have had a no-claims bonus for. Most will accept a no-claims bonus that’s less than 2 years old, but others may accept less than 3 years. However, they may only accept 3 years if they were the last insurer.

Is no claims discount worth it?
A no claims discount (NCD) can play an important part in lowering your annual insurance premium. If you do not make a claim on your car insurance, then your insurer is not required to pay out. By default, this implies you are a safer driver and therefore cheaper to cover.
What can I use as proof of no claims discount?
There are three main forms of proof: The renewal invite from your current or previous insurer will state the number of years you’ve enjoyed a no claims bonus. A cancellation letter from your previous insurer, as long as it states your no claim bonus. A letter from your previous insurer confirming your no claims bonus.
Can I Protect 2 years no claims?
It depends. Some insurance providers won’t allow you to protect your NCD if you’ve earned less than four years’ discount. But if you have the right number of years, you can protect it by paying a fee on top of the cost of your car insurance – these can vary a lot, so it’s worth shopping around.
