If you get a van of your own and insure it then decide in a few years to sell the van i dont think you can transfer the no claims discount back to a car so you will be back to square one again better find out first methinks :wink:

And they tend to "take over" from the original company so that you can never be sure what you have as the new co. adds/modifies the small print :roll:
Get it in writing :idea: :?:
