No Claim Bonus

Every year you earn a No Claims Bonus you will receive a discount off your annual insurance premium. The more years No Claims Bonus earned will result in a higher discount off your premium, subject to our maximum.

A No Claims Bonus can only be used on one vehicle at a time.

If you make a claim on your policy your No Claims Bonus could be reduced to nil at your next renewal unless you avail of one of our No Claims Bonus protection options.

There are 2 levels of bonus protection available on an Allianz car insurance policy, Protected No Claims Bonus and Step-back No Claim Bonus Protection.

You can opt to include Protected No Claims Bonus with your Allianz car insurance policy. This benefit allows you to have one unlimited third party or accidental damage claim in any 3 year renewal period, without having an impact on the No Claims Bonus you have earned. This means if you have an accident and you claim on your policy it will not affect your No Claims Bonus.

However, if you make a second claim in the same three year renewal period, your No Claims Bonus will be stepped back by 3 years. In the event of a third or subsequent claim in the same consecutive three year renewal period your No Claims Bonus will be reduced to Nil.
