    Full no claims protection is worth having.

    Does bonus protection actually work.

    Like when it comes to renewal and I have to declare a claim, will my insurance still increase at renewal.

    When there is a protected no claims it usually sees the premium still increase (loading) following a claim, but the percentage no claims discount won't decrease.

    Many make the mistake of thinking a protected no claims bonus projects their premium, it does not, it simply protects the NCB discount.

    If I make a claim and I have no claims bonus protection, will my premium increase by much..

    If the premium increases with no claim bonus protection then it looks like the protection is a bit of a scam

    What happens if I change insurers and go over to another insurance company after I have made a claim with the bonus protection.

    Only the insurer that you paid to protect your bonus is obliged to recognise it. It is a contract condition both parties have agreed to. Any alternative insurers are not bound by that agreement. However, I believe some might on a case by case basis

    It might increase even with bonus protection - no one can say by how much, however it will increase by significantly more if you had no NCB protection
