Everyone loves the special discount on a purchase. Be it groceries or shopping for something as important as car insurance, discounts are a big yes! To avail discounts at all, you first need to be sure that you have enough coverage. This can be achieved by buying a comprehensive policy, who’s coverage can be extended further with add-ons.

So, without further ado, let us take you through some ways of getting solid discounts on your car insurance policy. Nope these are not cheat tips!

Tips to Get Discount by Driving Safe

The biggest discount you can avail on a comprehensive car insurance policy is by simply making no claims. This is possible only if you drive safe. One can get up to a whopping 50% discount with simple habits like, following lane discipline, avoiding overspeeding, slowing on turns, etc. In the “insurance lingo” this discount is called No Claim Bonus (NCB). Here is how it works:

Claim-free renewals	Discount on Premium
On first claim-free renewal	20%
On second claim-free renewal	25%
On third claim-free renewal	35%
On fourth claim-free renewal	45%
On fifth claim-free renewal	50%

NCB in car insurance policy is a reward your insurance company will give you for being a safe driver. So, what happens when you raise a claim? By raising a claim, the NCB cycle will reset to zero. On the next renewal, you will have to pay the full amount of insurance premium. However, on a consecutive claim-free renewal, you will get a 20% discount and the cycle will resume.

Also, it is very important that you renew the policy on time. If there is a delay of more than 30 days, the NCB cycle will reset irrespective of you making a claim. We advise you to get in touch with your insurer as soon as the month of policy renewal approaches. This will ensure that you never miss out on any discounts.
