UK drivers who want to understand how NCD Protection helps preserve their discount after making a claim.

What is No Claims Discount (NCD)?

A No Claims Discount (NCD), also called a No Claims Bonus (NCB), is a reward for claim-free driving. For each year you don’t make a claim, you earn one year of NCD. The more years you have, the bigger the discount on your premium.


What is NCD Protection?

NCD Protection is an optional add-on that keeps your discount intact after certain claims:

  • It allows up to two fault claims per year without losing your NCD.

  • Non-fault and windscreen claims don’t affect your NCD with or without protection.

  • If you make more than two fault claims in one policy year, your NCD may still be impacted even with protection

Note: NCD Protection does not stop your premium from increasing. It only protects the discount level.
