If you get a letter from your employer stating.

The length of time you had the sole use of a company car.
That you could use it for pleasure.
That you no longer have the use of the car from ../../….

AND GO TO A BROKER.

You will find that a substantial discount can be allowed.

You must NOT assume that such a letter is ‘proof of a no claims bonus’ – your broker knows how to get you the best deal with the letter.

Yes. You need a letter from your fleet operator confirming no claims, and you may have to go to one of the premium insurers rather than the cheapos. I got full NCD with Zurich via Swinton brokers when retiring.

You can ask your ex employer for a letter saying that you have have driven their vehicles for x years without a claim, which should go towards a few extrs years NCB form your insurance. Good luck and enjoy your retirement.

Some companies will take it into account if you get a letter from your employer to confirm that you have not had any accidents.
