Transfer no claims bike to car?
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:50 pm
Hey guys,
A lad I know, who's 32 but only ever had bikes, is wanting to get a car for the first time. He told me that he's getting quoted well over a grand TPO on even a 1 litre.
I am absolutely positive that in my previous discussions with insurers they have mentioned that no claims bonus is transferable from bikes to cars, but not the other way around. I told him this and he said they all just said no, its not. He has 6 years no claims on big bikes.
Am I going nuts, or do insurers exist that will actually consider your bike no claims when looking at car insurance? Carole Nash do, but any others?
He tried Carole Nash, who wanted him to move his bike insurance to them too in order to access a car policy so that wasnt going to work for him I dont think.
I thought this might be an interesting point to raise, even though it is not for a forum member directly.
Any input, guru's?
