Your no claims bonus will be sent via email automatically once the policy has lapsed at renewal or after the cancellation of your policy.

Please note your policy will never be automatically cancelled from the time the vehicle is written off unless at least 7 days prior notice has been given to you that this will occur.

When representing you your insurer will do their very best to persuade the other driver, or their insurer, that the accident was their fault, so long as the evidence or circumstances support this.

 

This is done by presenting them with all the evidence that you have provided and that your insurer has gathered.

 

Your insurer will always act to defend your position, but if the evidence does not fully support either drivers’ version of the incident, everybody involved may have to take some responsibility. In this instance your insurer will negotiate the best possible settlement with the other driver.
