My wife and I have had 2 cars for at least the past 40 years, insured separately with me has the main driver and my wife as an additional driver. No claim has been made on either policy for at least 20 years so we have maximum no claims bonus on both policies. Is it OK to say we have this bonus when renewing each insurance with me remaining the main driver?

I'm not sure I understand the question?

If the question is my wife is really the main driver of one car and me the other should I be listed as the main driver of both? (To maintain the NCB)

I accept it's probably me being a bit dim

Two separate policies should have two separate lots of no claims on them.

I've read it again (and again).

As said above..each policy has built up its own no claims. That's how come you have maximum no claims on each policy?

I still don't understand what it is you are asking really. hehe

I have built up multiple amounts of NCD on having several cars over the years. I use them without any issue, as long as it's < 2 years since it was last used.

Some friends of mine made the error of maintaining a car in the wife's name with him as a nominated driver when he gave up his company car. When they got well enough off for a 2nd car, he had no NCD. They should have alternated each year with one nominated additional driver and built up 2 lots. rolleyes

NCD doesn't seem to make much difference to my quotes, but I am in my 50's.

I think the OP is saying at the moment they have 2 policies one for him and one for wife.

He is wanting to move both policies under him but use his wifes NCB on the second policy.

No, aiui, you have this NCB, your wife doesn't. Does that answer your question?

He says he is the main driver on both policies. If his wife is a named driver on both policies, she will not have accrued any NCB.
He says he wants to remain the main driver on both policies, so I'm not sure what the 'we' in the op that I bolded in my first reply is about.

Ah yeh.

I mean hes obtained both sets of NCB seperately so I see no issue.

Question not quite clear, but your wife has no NCB, you have two.

They should have spoken to the insurance company, explained the situation, had proof of no claims on both policies and it may well have been transferred.
