Help! Insurance advice needed

[chriso]

I hope that somebody can help me as it's doing my head in - my current insurance policy expires on June 19th, at which point I will (touch wood) have 1yr NCB. I've received my renewal today acknowledging my NCB. To insure my new car at a reasonable cost I need to change insurance companies and have my NCB. Could I use this renewal form as proof of NCB in order to insure my new car before the 19th? My new insurance company said it's ok but I don't want to be a victim of bad advice (ie if either car gets nicked/pranged). Sorry for the long winded nature of this post, couldn't think of a quicker way to describe things.

Thanks in advance folks...

yes-renewal notice is commonly used as evidence by all insurance companies.

Be wary though if you were on a 10-month "bonus accelerator" policy, some companies may not accept this as a full year and make it 0.

fortunately about 85% of companies do

Also you don't usually need to provide proof of NC entitlement for them to insure you. Usually you just have to send it to them ASAP.
