Classic car insurance policy means I haven't built up a no claims discount
I have for many years only driven a classic car , Renault 9, with an agreed value. The time has come to replace this car for a secondhand Renault Clio, as I can't afford to keep restoring this and my Triumph Stag.
On checking insurance cover today I find that because of the classic policy I have not earned a No Claims Bonus. I did have a small accident last year, no damage to the Renault, and would not expect to get maximum discount, but as I have been with Lynbrook Insurance for many years I thought that my driving history would have counted for something, my first accident in 40 years!
They are quoting £500 plus for a 2006 Clio. Is there an answer to this, after all my driving record is what I should be insured on, otherwise it's like someone driving a company car for years, they haven't built up a No Claims Bonus on the firm's insurance and could be in the same position if they buy their first car in retirement.
