Remember I asked how long my car insurance no claims discount lasts after I cancel my policy?
Well, I’ve finally got round to ringing eSure to both cancel my policy and find out the answer to my question, and they say that it’s 2 years. I’m not sure whether this is an “industry standard” or whether it depends on the insurer, though.
What it means is that if I don’t take out car insurance in the next 2 years I’ll probably end up paying quite a bit more. I’ve just done some quotes on Moneysupermarket with both 6 years no claims and without, and the quote with the NCD is about 50% of that without.
Indeed, on my “Renewal Invitation” (nicely put), eSure say they’d give me a 71% discount based on my no claims history, so that shows you just how much cheaper car insurance can be if you can drive for a few years without getting into any accidents.

“I’m not sure whether this is an “industry standard” or whether it depends on the insurer, though”
For most things that will help you get a discount, there are usually differences from one insurer to another. You will do well to read and understand the details of each providers policies. It’s very important.
