ABSOLUTELY GUTTED
evening all
Just had a conversation with my soon to be ex insurance company..
The story....
I drive a company car which I have social use of. I called a certain insurance company and told them I have driven a company car for 10 years and had no claims against me. I asked them if they could offer me full no claims they said yes providing proof.
To which I did.
Had a letter today saying that its not sufficient so I called them and it turns out that they can only offer me full no claims if I no longer drive the company vehicle...
Obviously I cant give the car back as its for business use so they have kindly told me my insurance will be cancelled as of 1st jan 08.....
So basically what im asking is can I get another policy anywhere that wont be through the roof as I have only had the car 2 months and am loving it as its been something I have wanted for years.....
pm me for my details if your a company that has any advice.
Thanks.....

You need to find someone that will mirror your no claims or give you a boost because of your record. What you've tried to do there is use one set of no claims on two cars, something you can't do with a private let alone a company car.
have to keep ringing around the brokers chap. My mum got a deal with the AA where they gave her the full no claims bonus but said if she did have a crash in the first year then the rest of the premium would be payable.
Doesn't help that the insurer didn't spot this in the first place though.

they even wrote to them to comfirm my history.

fingers crossed.

I don't get this. If you have a private car and build up NCB. Then you buy another private car, still keeping the first. You are saying that the second car you buy will have no NCB.
I thought the whole point of NCB was that it relates to the driver. If you are a driver that does not crash, why can you not have your NCB applied to both cars.
