    I am looking to get a car insurance quote from AIG. One of their assumptions is that you are claims free for 6 years. Can anyone tell me if windscreen is seen as a claim? Cheers.

    It is a claim, but one that insurers usually ignore for rating and acceptance purposes. Does it not say something like.........'other than windscreen claims.......'

    No it doesn't and I have not been able to find anything in the T&Cs etc. I will have to ring them on Monday. If I can't get a quote because of a simple windscreen claim...:mad:

    Windscreen cover is usualy free and does not affect your ncb. Never has for me.

    Windscreen cover is not free, it still costs your insurance company money to replace a windscreen, just usually a bit cheaper than paying for it yourself. However a windscreen claim generally is not considered by most insurance company as a claim against your NCB even though it may be listed anyway. Best thing to do is ring them Monday for clarification though.

    But when asked if you have had a claim, you must reply "yes".

    Fair enough. I'm usually asked on the phone if I have any claims or convictions within the last X years.
    The websites usually ask something similar.

    Its usually a question like "have you made a claim or been in an accident in the last 5 years?"

    123.ie now ask "any claims in last 4yrs including windscreen"

    I clicked yes just to see and premium jumped €30.

    Whether it is free or affects your NCB is not the question. It is a claim.

    Am with AIG with a windscreen claim. your NCD is not affected but it is recorded as a windscreen claim. Likewise when I went for quote with another insurer with this information on my NCD they quoted me but included 25 euro for the windscreen claim.
