I wasn't aware that classic policies accrue NCD or that NCD could be used, but happy to be wrong, once more :-)

I'd get your quotes asap, i had considered putting my MB on a classic policy but required being able to take it to work now and again, that put paid to some classic insurers and by the time commuting (even with a 3k limit) was included it was cheaper and easier on a normal fully comp protected policy...though guaranteed values don't apply.

I went from a company to a private car, albeit on an immediate basis. I got a letter from my company stating that I had the benefit of a company car for the previous 15 years without any claims, accident or incidents. That was accepted and I managed to receive full no claims discount. I think something similar from your previous company may do the trick. NCD is usually based on a sliding scale these days. 1 year is 14%, 5 years is 20% up to 9 years for 30%. Any discount is worth having though. Good luck. Concrete

To me, that just shows how much of a rip-off the insurance industry is - I get 70% off the initial premium with my full 14+ years NCD (Esure do a 7+7 year reduction if I recall, you get a lot off in the first 7 years, possibly up to 50% NCD then much less in the years after) on an ongoing private insurance policy (rather than work one). It shouldn't matter whether the policy is for a privately owned car or company car, as long as you have proof of bonus.

Of course, all the NCD % discounts are meaningless anyway, as different insurers often have hugely different premium starting points before NCD discounts, plus most have 'additional amounts' ready to reduce the price if you haggle over the phone, at least when changing from another provider.
