Where to find proof of your no claims discount
New customers
When you get a car insurance quote, we ask how many years' no claims discount (or no claims bonus) you already have. This information can be found on the cancellation notice or last renewal invitation from your previous insurer.
To validate your policy after purchase, we may ask for proof of the discount you've earned.
This will be a copy of the cancellation notice or last renewal invitation, or a letter on headed paper from your previous insurer.
The document should show:
The document must be dated within the past 2 years and can't be used for another vehicle. You'll also need to tell us about any gap of more than 30 days between your previous and the new AA policy, including claims or convictions.
You can send the document to us by email or post, or even upload it to your account:
[email protected]
AA Insurance Services, Q3 Quorum Business Park, Benton Lane, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE12 8EX
When we receive it we'll acknowledge the proof of your no claims discount. If we need more information, we'll make sure you have enough time to provide it. In the meantime, your AA car insurance policy will remain active.
Existing customers
If you already have car insurance with us, the number of years' no claims discount is on your Statement of Insurance/Fact. You'll have received a copy at purchase or renewal, either by post or in your account.
If you need a replacement Statement of Insurance/Fact, log in to your account to print a copy or contact us via chat.
If you cancelled your policy before the renewal date, the number of years will be on your cancellation letter. Otherwise we can't send proof of your no claims discount until your policy has ended.

How does the AA Multi-Car Discount work?
If you already have a car insured with us, then anyone at the same address can benefit from a 15% discount when they buy a new additional car insurance policy directly via theaa.com/car-insurance/multi-car. Or you can call us on 0330 053 0243.
The discount only applies to our Silver, Gold or Platinum car insurance and not to any optional additional cover.
The terms and conditions have all the details.

AA Multi-Car Discount policies
Can I drive all cars that qualify for an AA Multi-Car Discount?
The AA Multi-Car Discount is not a multi-car policy. Instead, the discount applies to each new additional car insurance policy at the home address.
So in order to drive other cars registered at the home address you must either be the policyholder or a named driver on a policy.
Will all the cars have the same renewal date?
No. Our AA Multi-Car Discount offer keeps things flexible for you. Every new additional policy is separate, with its own payment and renewal date.
Will each car insurance policy get its own no claims discount?
Yes, because each car is insured separately. And this means the policyholder can protect their own no claims discount.
When does the discount offer end?
The AA Multi-Car Discount rolls on every year, rewarding your ongoing loyalty.
The 15% discount is applied via the renewal invite for additional vehicles, provided you or anyone at the home address still meet the AA Multi-Car Discount eligibility criteria.
The AA reserves the right to change or withdraw the discount at any time without notice.
