What's a ‘no claims discount’?

A no claims discount is a reward that insurers give you for not making a claim. The longer you go without making a claim the more they give you a discount, until you reach their maximum discount (usually after 5 years).
No claims discounts are normally portable so if you change providers from year to year they will often ask you how many years ‘no claims’ you’ve had and give you a discount.
