Have I earned any No Claim Discount if I have been driving a company car?
If you have been driving on a company car policy then you do not earn your own no claim discount but we will be happy to consider you for an introductory discount dependent on your driving history on the company policy. Please contact us.
We will ask you for:
- The name of the company you work(ed) for
- The name and landline contact telephone number of someone at the company who deals with the insurance
- The number of continuous years claim free driving your employer will validate.
Have I earned any No Claim Discount if I have been a named driver on another policy?
If you are a named driver on another Aviva car insurance policy we may be able to offer you an introductory discount. You can arrange a quote online and then contact us.
What if I have earned No Claim Discount on motor insurance overseas?
We will accept no claim discount (NCD) if it was earned from any of the following countries, if you earned NCD elsewhere please contact us.
European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA)
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Cyprus (South), Republic of Ireland, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

We may ask for proof of your NCD which should:
- Be in English
- Be on official company headed paper
- Be in the main driver’s name
- Show the vehicle details
- Confirm the number of years the NCD was built up over
- Show the date the policy expired
Please note that your NCD will be valid for 2 years after the expiration of your last policy, provided it is not being used on another policy.
What does protected No Claim Discount for motor insurance provide?
No claim discount (NCD) protection is an optional cover which protects your NCD from one "at fault" claim every year. It does not protect the overall price of your insurance policy, but does guarantee that your premium won't increase next year as a result of a claim. Your price may still alter if a claim invalidates any fixed price offer on your policy.
You must be 21 or over with 3 or more years NCD and have had no more than 1 claim in the last year to protect your NCD.
If you don't protect your NCD, any "at fault" claim would step your NCD years back at renewal. Two or more "at fault" claims in one year would result in your NCD being stepped back to nil at renewal.
If you're a new customer, for further information please see our summary of cover.
If you're an existing customer, for further information please refer to the documents section of MyAviva on the policy you wish to view.
If you're an existing customer you can only add NCD protection cover at renewal. To add it, please contact us.
How long is No Claim Discount for motor insurance valid for?
Your no claim discount (NCD) will be valid for 2 years after the expiration of your last policy, provided it is not being used on another policy.
Do I need to provide proof of my No Claim Discount?
We may ask you for proof of your no claim discount (NCD) during your period of insurance.
This can be your renewal invitation or a letter from your previous insurer and should:
- Be on official company headed paper
- Be in the main driver’s name
- Show the vehicle details
- Confirm the number of years the NCD was built up over
- Show the date the policy expired
If we have requested proof of your NCD you can e-mail a scanned or photographed copy to us at NCDVALD@aviva.com
How can I get proof of my No Claims Discount?
If your policy is due for renewal, the renewal schedule or letter should count as evidence of your no claim discount (NCD) for your next insurer.
If you cancel at any other point and have been insured with us for more than a year, we’ll automatically include proof of NCD with your cancellation letter. If you would prefer this via email, please request this at the time of cancelling.
If you’ve been with us for less than a year we’ll send you a separate letter to confirm how long you have been claim free for.
If you have already cancelled your policy and no longer have your documents, please contact us.
I have received a refund related to No Claim Discount (NCD) – What is this for?
This refund relates to an issue with your 2022 and/or 2023 renewal price, where the price we charged did not take into account the full amount of NCD you declared to us. The refund reflects the difference between the price you were charged and the price you should have been charged.
Do I need to select business use on my car insurance policy?
Most of our policies automatically qualify for personal business use as standard at no extra cost. This applies for the main driver of that vehicle and their spouse/domestic partner.
Unfortunately, we cannot cover business use for chauffeurs, taxi drivers, driving instructors or parcel/takeaway/fast food delivery drivers if they are using the insured vehicle in connection with their occupation.
Please see below a list of the different options and what each of these covers:
- Social, Domestic & Pleasure Only (SD&P)
This excludes any travel to and from work or other business use
- Social, Domestic & Pleasure plus commuting
This covers all named drivers to drive to and from the same place of work every day. This can also be selected if you travel to different places of work but only to one place of work per day
- Personal Business Use
This covers all the above plus extends cover to the main driver and their spouse/domestic partner to drive to different locations of work in the same day

The vehicle policyholder is nominated by the principal policyholder as being the person who drives the vehicle most often and earns the no claim discount.
Named drivers are additional drivers nominated by the principal policyholder who are entitled to drive the vehicle under the policy.

Do you insure caravans and mobile homes?
You're automatically covered against third party liability while a trailer is attached to your car. We won’t charge an extra premium and you don’t need to tell us that you’re towing a trailer.
The term ’trailer‘ means any trailer, caravan or car being towed behind the vehicle policyholder’s car.
From 16 December 2021, towing limits for trailers may have changed for people with driving licences that were issued after 1 January 1997. If you tow trailers or will do in the future, and are unsure if any changes apply to you, you can find out more at Driving licence categories - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Third party liability cover means we'll cover any compensation you have to pay if you're in an accident where you injure someone or damage their property.
However, it won't provide cover for loss or damage to the trailer itself.
Caravans are normally covered as part of a specialist stand-alone policy or added to a home insurance policy as an optional add-on.
Visit our motorhome and caravan insurance page for more information.
What type of cover do I need to drive to and from work?
The 'social, domestic and pleasure including commuting' option covers driving to one permanent place of work and back.

Yes. If you have motor insurance with us, and your vehicle is normally kept in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands or Isle of Man, you’re covered to drive in:
EU Countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden
EEA countries not in the EU: Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway
Other countries: Andorra, Serbia, Switzerland, Bosnia & Herzegovina
British Overseas Territory: Gibraltar
Your insurance policy will give you the minimum cover you need to drive your insured vehicle in most European countries, which is third party only cover. This covers your legal liability to others – for example, if you injure someone in a motor accident or damage their property. However, it won’t cover you for loss of, or damage to, your own vehicle. For this kind of cover, you need to have our Foreign Use optional add-on cover.
Foreign Use is included as standard with an Aviva Online, Aviva Premium, or AvivaPlus Premium policy. Or if you have Comprehensive cover with one of our other Motor Insurance products, you can add Foreign Use for an additional price. Foreign Use gives you a similar level of cover to what you have in the UK, when driving in the countries listed in your policy booklet. Cover is valid for up to 90 days for one trip and up to 180 days during the year.
To add Foreign Use onto your policy:
- Log in to MyAviva
- Select your Motor policy, then choose 'Details'.
- Choose 'Amend my policy'
- Under Excesses and additional covers choose ‘Yes’ to the Foreign Use option.
Or if you’re a new customer, simply add Foreign Use to your policy when you get a quote.
Foreign Use isn’t available with an AvivaPlus Basic policy.
Please note: Driving Other Cars (DOC) cover, courtesy vehicles, UK breakdown cover (Rescue Cover) and Motor Legal Services only operate within Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Adding Foreign Use will not extend these covers outside the UK.
For exclusions and further information, see the documents section in MyAviva for the policy you want to view.
If you plan to travel with your own car to a country not listed in your policy booklet, please contact us first.
Am I covered to drive other vehicles?
If you have comprehensive insurance, you're covered with third party only insurance if you need to drive someone else's car. Third party only is the minimum cover you need to drive legally in the UK. We'd pay compensation to someone you injure or for damage you cause to other people’s vehicles or property in an accident – but wouldn't cover you for loss of, or damage to, the vehicle you were driving.
This cover is for the vehicle policyholder only, not named drivers. If you’re the principal policyholder but aren’t the vehicle policyholder you also won’t be covered. Normally the principal policyholder and the vehicle policyholder are the same person, but sometimes a principal policyholder takes out insurance for someone else, who becomes the vehicle policyholder. In that instance the principal policyholder wouldn’t get Driving Other Cars cover, only the vehicle policyholder. Driving Other Cars cover is also not available on policies in the name of a business.
The driver must be 25 or older when your motor policy with us started or renewed. You don't need to tell us that you'll be driving the other car, but you must have the car owner's consent.
If you have any questions, please contact us before you drive the other car.
For cover limits, exclusions and further information please refer to the documents section for the policy you wish to view in MyAviva . Your certificate of motor insurance will also confirm if you have this cover.

Do you cover lease cars?
Yes. Please see below for more information.

If you or your spouse/domestic partner have a vehicle on personal lease, please record the owner described in the lease agreement as the owner and registered keeper of the vehicle (as documented on the V5 form).
If you or your spouse/domestic partner have a vehicle which is leased to a firm or company, please insure your vehicle in the name of the firm/company concerned. Visit our business vehicle and van insurance page to find out more and get a quote.

Will Aviva pass on the benefit of the Whiplash Reform (Civil Liability Act 2018) to customers?
We’ll pass on the savings from the Civil Liability Act 2018, also known as the ‘Whiplash Reform’, to our customers.
The Civil Liability Act 2018 changes how low-value personal injury claims, such as whiplash, are dealt with and valued. The aim is to cut the number and cost of minor whiplash claims and reduce fraud.
We’ve campaigned for personal injury reform since 2012, highlighting that the number of whiplash claims continued to increase even as cars became safer and the number of road traffic accidents fell.
Now the long-awaited whiplash reforms have been introduced on 31 May 2021.
This is significant news for customers, especially young drivers, because it will help make motor insurance more affordable by reducing pressure on premiums.
It’s also expected to help reduce the number of nuisance calls asking if you’ve been injured in a car accident. And it will help make roads safer by removing the financial incentive for crash for cash fraudsters.
Does the FCA review affect my AvivaPlus Renewal Price Guarantee?
If you're an AvivaPlus customer, when you bought your policy it may have included a Renewal Price Guarantee, which meant the renewal price would be matched to the price we'd offer if you were a new customer.
Instead of the Renewal Price Guarantee, we're pleased that new industry rules, which came into force on 1 January 2022, will ensure that all home and car insurance customers' renewal prices will be the same as or lower than the equivalent price for a new customer, in a similar way to our AvivaPlus Renewal Price Guarantee.
Where can I purchase AvivaPlus cover?
As of 16 December 2021 you will no longer be able to purchase AvivaPlus cover.
How can I contact you if I’m Deaf or a British Sign Language (BSL) user?
If you have an Aviva or AvivaPlus car insurance policy, you can get in touch with us using a qualified BSL interpreter for free as part of our partnership with online video interpreting service SignLive. At the moment, you can only contact us using this service if you need to talk about a claim or have a customer service query and if your policy number starts with letters, such as MMV or MHO. This excludes Aviva Online and Aviva Premium policies. Find out more about how to use the SignLive service.
We’re hoping to extend our SignLive partnership to all our customers and for all queries soon. But in the meantime, if you don’t meet the criteria to use SignLive, there are other ways to contact us, including using one of our online forms or LiveChat.
