Had a company car for the last 4 1/2 yrs, they are stopping the scheme and just giving cash, so i need to source another car... how does NCD work when I haven't had my own policy for years? It's going to cost me isn't it? :cry:

There will be insurance companies out there who will take it into account, but you probably won't find them looking for a policy on the internet (you might). This is an occasion where you need a good broker to investigate the market for you.Quote:

PCH / PCP makes sense to me unless you're considering keep[ing the car for 10 years. I'll DM you now.
Now I see that you had DM'd me, sorry I didn't see it. I've replied now anyway.Quote:

BMWs? Common as muck.
