Foreign NCB & Car Insurance FAQs
Why do some insurance companies refuse Foreign NCB?
Insurance companies are not obligated to accept foreign NCB, and many will refuse due to the different driving laws overseas and the administration required to transfer it across. Fortunately, we don’t refuse it.
Should I insure my car if it’s staying in the UK while I live abroad, to protect my UK NCB?
Ideally, while living overseas if you have a car in the UK it should be insured. This is because it is still at risk of theft, fire, and damage. While many insurers are unlikely to provide this, Keith Michaels can help. Find out more about non-UK resident car insurance. If you choose not to insure your UK car while you are away, you may lose your NCB if you will be away for more than two years, and are not driving with insurance while you are abroad.
Can I buy car insurance to drive abroad from a UK provider?
Most UK car insurance companies will only offer insurance to UK residents; however, Keith Michaels can provide insurance to those living in Europe. As long as you have a permanent address in Europe, and are driving a UK-registered car, we can provide cover for up to 180 days. Discover more about our European car insurance.
If I live abroad but do not drive, will I lose my UK NCB?
In general, a No Claims Bonus is only valid for two years. This means if there is a break from driving for two years or more – such as while living abroad – you will likely lose the discount you will have obtained from NCB in the UK.
I have not bought insurance for driving abroad before, what do I need to know?
Living in a foreign country is a real learning curve for many people, leading to all sorts of questions about driving among other things. Read our expat car insurance FAQs to get your questions answered.
Can I use my no claims bonus from an EU country?
It’s possible to retain your built up no claims bonus from an EU country when insuring a vehicle in the UK. With an international translation of the NCB confirmation, some insurance companies will honour EU NCB and apply the relevant discount.
