We cannot stop those risks from occurring, but we can help to pay for them when they do
This is a discount that you can earn for not making claims under your policy. Provided you do not claim on your policy this discount will increase at each renewal up to a maximum of 60% after five (5) years. If a claim is made, your discount will be reduced, but can be reinstated if it is proven that you were not at fault, and we are able to recover your losses from the third party’s insurer
