We have two different levels of No Claims Discount Protection – Stepback and Full Protection. Find out which option is best for you.
Stepback Protection
Zurich car insurance includes Stepback Protection as standard on all policies. This means that if you have a claim under a section that does affect your No Claims Discount, instead of your discount going back to zero, it will only be stepped back by two levels. For example, if you were availing of the full 55% discount and have a claim, you will be stepped back to 35% at your next renewal.
Only your ‘earned’ No Claims Discount is protected by Stepback Protection. If you have been allowed any other discount instead of or to supplement a No Claims Discount, then that will be removed should a claim occur.
Full Protection
Full No Claims Discount protection is available for an additional charge if you have a No Claims Discount earned in your own name. This means that you can have up to two claims in a three year period and your No Claims Discount will be unaffected. If a third claim occurs then Stepback Protection will come into effect.
