Thinking of changing my car before my first year of NCB is complete.. But I'm worried about losing the 10/11 months of ncb I have as I'm 22 and this will be my first full year driving and ncb is important when insuring performance cars..

So will I lose my ncb if i switch to another car for the last month or so?

Is it worth taking out a second policy for the last month or so? and creating a new policy in a month?

What do I do?

No, if you remain with the same insurer you will not lose anything.

Change cars on the same policy. You might have to pay a small extra cost (depending on the car) but you'll still you get NCB. With 3 months of my policy left I scrapped my last car it cost me £130 to get the policy moved over to my new one and after the remaining 3months I was awarded my NCB.

As long as you aren\t canceling the policy then it'll still count towards a year of no claims.

Thay aren't car specific. I had 4 cars on my last policy and everything was fine.

They've never charged me an admin fee for changing the car on my policy.

When i turned 25, they charged me a £15 admin fee to re-send my docs with 3rd party cover on other cars included.
I want DOC now frown

They use to only charge £30-50 a few years back then it went to 130 then they stopped doing it for youngens
