    Just wondering in regards to car insurance, what’s the story if I have built up 2 years no claims in my own name and next year take a year out and only drive as a named driver on someone else’s policy? Will my no claims disappear? Is there a way around this?

    Cheers

    NCB lasts for 2 years from the end of your last policy, some insurers used to do 3 years but not sure if thats still the case.

    Ah right, so I could possibly get 2 years on a named insurance? I’m 20 myself and struggling to get a reasonable quote (if any quote at all) so trying to look at alternatives for a year or 2 and come back when I’m older!

    Are you trying on other cars than the Golf GTI you mentioned before?
