Digit No Claim Bonus

Digit General Insurance offers a No Claim Bonus (NCB) to its policyholders for every year in which they did not make any claim. It is a discount on the amount of premium that ranges between 20% to 50% and is something you earn at the end of your car insurance policy period by driving safely throughout and maintaining a record of raising no car accident claims. This clears that NCB is zero when you buy a comprehensive car insurance plan and you earn it to avail only on your policy renewal and it increases with every claim-free policy year.

A No Claim Bonus is a reward that is provided to the car insurance policyholder for safe driving and not to the insured car or any other vehicle. On this note, even if you switch your car, your NCB stays with you. Therefore, if you decide to buy a new car, you will be issued a new car insurance policy, but you can still avail of the NCB you accumulated on the old car or policy. However, to keep your NCB benefit intact, you must timely renew your car insurance policy and must refrain from making any small claims by bearing them on your own.
