Does 2 x 6 months of car insurance = 1yr no claims?

Question

I insured my old car for 6 months then bought a new car. Now my new car has been insured for 7 months does this mean I have 1 year no claims bonus?

Answer 1

No

You can waste your money buying insurance for 20 cars at the same time, but your no claim bonus starts from when you first insured anything.

Think of it like a no smoking period. Was it one month or 2 years?

You can't say you stop smoking ten brands of cigarettes so in one month you have been smoke free for ten months!

Hope it is clear to you how it works.
