Many people wonder whether an insurance policy is necessary at all; particularly, when there have been no claims availed in several years. Part of it is that it is required by law. However, insurers not only understand this concern, but they have also put together a process to return a part of the premium on policies that have caused no loss to them. In motor insurance, such a reward is offered in the form of a No Claim Bonus (NCB) which is to be redeemed the year following the claim-free policy term. What’s more, your No Claim Bonus increases as the number of years without claims increase. However, should you make a claim, the following year counts as year one for the NCB.
More about No Claim Bonus:
No claim bonus can be availed by only those policy holders who have not claimed against car insurance in the past year(s). It gets accumulated over a period of time. In simple words, the NCB is a reward for being a good driver. NCB is transferable from one company to another but not from one person to another and it is therefore a portable benefit.

Tips to extract the maximum benefit out of NCB:
No claim bonus is earned by careful driving year after year. So drive safe and save on your car insurance premium.
