Young motorists more likely not to claim to save their bonus
More than one third (38%) of motorists refuse to make motor insurance claims to save their no-claims bonus according to Confused.com.
- 65% of over 55s will claim if the cost of the accident is greater than the excess
- 66% of drivers aged 18-24 avoid claiming
Will Thomas, head of motor insurance at Confused.com, said: "When it comes to making a claim, it is important to assess the financial impact it might have on insurance in the future, in terms of premium and no claims bonus. Although collecting years of no claims is beneficial, this should not deter people from making claims if they need to.
