Why do Comfort ask that question ? (1 Viewer)

[Trev45]

Renewed my PVC insurance with Comfort earlier today and one of the questions they asked was had I made any windscreen claims in the past 5 years . I'd actually forgotten that last year I had a windscreen replaced and replied 'No' . Later when I realised my error I contacted them and they updated my records but the premium remained the same . Have others been asked that question by Comfort ? I have always understood that a glass claim is not regarded as a 'claim' as such when renewing insurance maybe I am wrong.

Windscreen claims can be very expensive… £5k plus

I guess that’s why they ask the question.

I've always thought it strange that A class windscreen claims can cost as much but the insurance hardly seems loaded maybe they're starting to get cautious.
I don't know why insurance claims for windscreens don't affect the premiums after all the no claims bonus is just that a no claims bonus not a no blame bonus.

Not 100% certain but I think glass cover is a seperate insurance policy grouped together with your premium.
The van/car insurer will claim on the glass insurance.
Possibly the same as insurance based breakdown cover, they will buy the cover at a big discount then stick it on your premium unless you opt out. .

In which case I'm still surprised that the supplier of the glass insurance hasn't noticed an order of magnitude change on a class windscreens compared to other MH.

Apologies to OP for going off topic but Chris should really reconcile his newish Avatar pic with his signature.

I know he is probably teasing us old hands, and I have bitten, but it must confuse 'Newbies'
