Don't forget you can only use your no claims on one insurace policy! So if you are using the no claims bonus on a car you wont be able to use them on the van aswell!

Not just a case of forgetting, alot of people don't know and the insurance companies don't seem to tell you or that it would be breaking the law!

Seems i had this problem when i brought a car aswel as having my van. I was told i would have to start again with the no claims............but after a few questions and a bit of sobbing to the insurance company they did what they called "Mirrored NCD" , dont know how it works, but they ended up quoting me :D :D HAPPY

Might be well worth you lads and lasses asking your insurance companys about the "Mirrored no claims discount" Gotta be worth the phone call! :wink:

my cousin is a courier his insurance is about £1000 :shock: he got a quote saying he was a builder and it was about £500 :shock: unfortunatly he had to take the one out for a grand :evil:

also re. NCB - a mate of mine took out a policy on his car aswell as his van using the NCB he had already used on his van - the insurance company accepted it - never quetioned it - a year later (having not had to clain on either) he has 2 sets of full NCB 1 for car 1 for van :lol:
im not sure this will always work and is slightly risky if you were to claim or it was cross checked on computer but.................. worked for him!! :?

Dont really know how its done but im sure its all above board, as its an agreement between you and the insurance company, so i cant see it being a problem.
Ps it was Direct line that i put my car with and got the mirrored discount
