No. Your no claims discount can only be used on one policy at a time, so if it’s already being used on another vehicle, you can't transfer it to another.

No Claims Discounts can be a tricky subject to wrap your head around, and it's natural to have questions. If you still need a little extra help, check out our Frequently Asked Questions about No Claims Discounts below.

A mirrored no claims discount can 'reflect' your current no claims discount, applying it to a second vehicle that you've just bought.

This means that if you’re unable to transfer an NCD to your new policy with us then we may be able to offer you a discount on your premium to recognise your claims free driving history.

This might happen if, for example, your NCD is already being used on another car or van you own.

If this happens, we’ll ask you for details about the no claims discount you are earning on your other policy. If these details are acceptable to us, the discount we offer you is called a mirror no claims discount.

Please note: this can only be done if you/your named drivers haven't had any claims where you've been at fault, or any motoring convictions.

A mirrored no claims discount is when we apply a discount to your new policy that recognises a NCD which you’re currently earning on another car or van policy in your name.

When you send us proof of your no claims discount, you’ll receive an email letting you know we have received your document and that we’ll be in touch shortly.

We would require evidence of this in the form of an active policy schedule from your current insurer.

Send this document to van.insurance@axa-insurance.co.uk.

There are eligibility rules for this though, so please get in touch to find out whether you qualify.

In order to process your query, we need you to include a few key details in your initial email to us. These are as follows: your policy number, full name, date of birth (D.O.B), the first line of your address and your postcode.

• The other policy is in the same name as the one you are taking out with us
• The other policy is still in force 
• The other policy is issued by another UK insurer

Travelling to the EU is simple withAXA van insurance. Here are a few key details that you may find helpful to know before you travel.

• Your AXA van insurance policy automatically includes basic cover for travel in the EU
  • However, we can increase this to your normal level of policy cover for up to 93 days, in any one period of insurance*.
• Before you travel you need to let us know some details about your trip
  • How many days you’ll be abroad
  • Where you are going
  • Who will be driving the van
• We’ll then provide you with a Green Card free of charge, as proof of cover.
  • You’ll need to take a physical copy along with you, as well your certificate of motor insurance.
  • You may also need an International Driving Permit – check with the Post Office for details about this.

Green cards for EU travel

Please let us know about your trip 14 days before you leave, so we have time to arrange a Green Card for you.

If you don’t contact us before you travel, we won’t be able to provide you with a Green Card and you’ll also only be insured to the minimum level of cover when travelling in the EU.

Without a Green Card you might also be forced to pay for additional insurance if you’re stopped at a border – and you could encounter problems if you’re stopped by the authorities or you’re involved in an accident during your trip.

*Please be aware that even if you have Breakdown Assistance included in your policy, this only provides cover in the UK. You would have to buy separate EU breakdown cover if this is needed.

What's a green card?

A ‘green card’ is a document that you must carry with you when driving abroad. It proves that you have at least the minimum level of motor insurance required for the country you’re travelling in.

Following recent changes to the system, green cards no longer need to be green – black and white printed documents of the green card are valid in participating EU countries.

If you are looking to be covered to the same level of cover that you have while driving in the UK you will need to contact us before you travel, even if we have previously given you a green card or you don’t need to carry one.

Unfortunately, we can’t switch your van policy from personal use to business use. If you need van insurance for business, you’ll need to buy a new policy.

• Where you live
• How many miles you drive each year
• What your van is used for
• If your van has modifications

If your circumstances change then it’s important that you let is know so that we can update your policy to reflect this, which may result in a change in premium.
