Vinalspin, unrelated to the topic as such, but go with direct line at renewal. They recognise the No claims from the scheme and will give you those years. After a year they give you the usual letter of X years no claims which includes Motability years as regular no claims so you can then go anywhere with them. If you need the proof of fault free driving just call Motability rsa and they’re very quick to email it, direct line didn’t ask for mine.
Good point Tim. I managed the same with a different company to Direct Line when I moved from a company car to a private one. It is my understanding that quite a lot of insurance companies now recognise claim free years as a company car / Motability car driver. There certainly shouldn’t be any need to start with nothing.
