We were wondering if it's possible to flip flop between who's the policyholder on the car every two years so that we could both keep our no claims bonus.

I see mixed responses to whether there's any point in this. My wife is typically used the car most as I commuted by bike before lockdown.

So, does anyone do this? Is there any value in it?

Tbh, you can just ring and ask the insurer.
