## In short

Some insurers accept car NCB on private van policies; others start at zero. Ask before switching vehicle type.

Named driver NCB may not transfer — only policyholder history.

Protecting NCB costs extra but limits loss after one claim.

Fleet policies may use separate experience ratings.

See no-claims bonus guide.
