What do I need to provide to get my NCB after driving a company car?

Most insurance companies will require proof of your no claims while you were driving a company car. This can come in the form of an email or letter from your employer stating the following:

• The dates you drove the car
• That you were the only person to drive the car
• The full details of any accidents you had
• The car’s registration details
• That the vehicle was not a commercial vehicle, but rather, a private car on a fleet policy

If I buy the company car, will I be able to keep the NCB I have acquired with it?

Regardless of whether or not you choose to buy your company car, you will need your employer to provide the above evidence in order to use any no claims bonus discount you have acquired while using it.

Can I keep my existing NCB if I start using a company car?

Usually, an NCB is valid for two years after you stop driving. If there is a break for two years or more from driving a personal car under personal insurance, because you have moved to a company car, you must obtain proof of NCB from your employer. By providing this evidence later on, you are accounting for the break and will therefore be able to keep your previous, personal NCB.

Should I buy my company car at the end of its lease?

Most lease companies will offer the option to buy the car at the end of the agreed lease period. This can seem like an attractive option to the driver who has been using the car, as they have become familiar with it or even grown to love it. Whether you should buy the car is a matter of personal choice, but it’s important to do your homework and make sure you are happy with the price they are asking before you do so. It could be that the same car in a similar condition is available to buy elsewhere at a more appealing price.
