    What does this actually mean? If i have a claim this year with my current insurer, can i then legally say to a different insurer next year that i have full no claims bonus?
    I'm currently shopping around for my insurance renewal and don't know if all these extras are worth it or not.

    No you can't.
    In most cases full NCB protection means that your NCB is protected only if you stay with your current insurer.

    In that case, there is nothing stopping them from raising next years premium so? They could come up slightly lower price than their competitors and you would have to stick with them!
    Has anyone any experience of this?

    There is often a fairly low limit on what the claim can be too, €10,000 ish wouldn't be uncommon.

    I have an open claim, my premium increased by €160, so much for NCB protection.

    Section 64 Road Taffic Act 1961 making a false statement to obtain insurance is an offence!
