Everyone is looking for opportunities to reduce their insurance costs at the moment. Most people know that one of the key things that help to keep the cost down is your no claims bonus. This is a discount applied to the base rate based on the number of years you have held insurance without making a claim. If you make a claim your no claims bonus is reduced causing your insurance premium to rise at renewal.
Insurance claims are settled on a fault or non fault basis. To clarify this if you cannot claim from a third party to recoup your losses, in insurance terms this is a fault claim. To give a few examples if your car is stolen you cannot claim from anyone else so this is classed as a fault and you lose no claims bonus. If someone hits your vehicle in a car park and drives off without leaving details and the vehicle needs repairing then again this is classed as a fault claim. This can seem unfair, as obviously it is not your fault that someone decided to steal your car but you have to suffer at renewal time.
Ibex insurance now offer the opportunity to protect your no claims bonus, this means that in the event of a claim regardless of blame your no claims bonus remains intact. The Ibex protected no claims bonus allows up to two fault claims in any three year period. Not every insurer in Spain offers this and we recommend that you check your policy documents to see if you have this valuable cover. If you do not have this it may be worth contacting us at renewal time to add this to your policy.
