Insurance differences own policy vs. named driver

[daviebroon]

Because i have had a company car for about 5 yrs, and my boss put my cup on the companies fleet list... i never had to bother paying a lot of insurance.

Renewing on my own now, means i have 0 earned NCB

Insurance in my own name : £2800
Insurance in my gf's name, and me as a named driver: £700

I have lots of points and a previous ban for speeding which obviously doesnt help... but pretty sure i know what policy i am going for!

f**k the NCB

Direct Line lets named drivers build up NCB's

but only if you stay with direct line continuously... and they were more than £700 by quite a bit

bell, admiral, elephant are good with low or no no claims bonus can build no claims as a named driver with bell for definate and since the other two are the same company would have thought it to be the same with them aswell, with the named driver no claims if you have a years policy in your own name with the company then all the no claims earnt as a named driver beforehand can be taken to another insurance company. AFAIK
