Years as a named Driver (no claims) - KenC
I have a freind who has driven for around ten years as a named driver,
he has never been involved in any accidents or claims. He wants to obtain
car insurance in his own name and hopefully some credit for accident
free driving.
can anyone recommend an insurance broker or company who may allow
him a no claims bonus ?

thanks you

It seems Direct line have started doing this, but perhaps only when built up on their own policies ?

Your friend should try to obtain a letter from the person or employer with whom he was insured as a named driver. The letter should not only confirm this info. but also make reference to the insurance company the policy was with and the number of accident free years. If he then takes this letter into an insurance broker they should view it kindly.

The only real way to do it is to apply to the insurance company he was a named driver with.
Direct line and the like will only accept time as a named driver if it was on one of their policies and the newly insured driver takes out a new policy with them.

Others may well give introductory bonus though.
