Insurance - NCB for cancelled policy

[w00tman]

Morning

Potentially changing the car and the current insurer (been with them c.5 months) want an extra £700 for the remaining term - versus £350 for a whole new year elsewhere.

However - what I'm not sure of is, if I cancel the existing insurance, will I get another "proof of no claims bonus" certificate to provide to my new insurer? I haven't made any claims, but I'm not sure I still have a copy of the one from my previous insurer as the current insurer never requested me to send this in.

Clearly, if the current insurer were to provide another NCB certificate, it would be for the same value as declared at inception as I havent accrued another year (so 7 years, as originally taken out with them) but otherwise how do I prove my NCB and lack of claims in the intervening months?

Thanks!

Finally managed to get through to the insurance and they will give me a letter saying, essentially, "on risk for 5 months, 7 years NCB, no claims during this period" - should be enough for any future insurer.

Just annoyed as quite like them but the price hike is too much.

Well it doesn't matter anyway, as having just put down a deposit on the car, I then proceeded to reverse into a brand-new Audi A4..

..sigh, FML.

I know. What a di..

I don't suppose I can cancel an insurance policy with an ongoing claim anyway - now the insurance want £850 for a change in car, versus going elsewhere at £450 for 12 months. Sigh..
