Your No Claim Discount is not transferable to any other person. However, your No Claim Discount can be transferred from one motorcycle to another.
For example: You've sold your 10-year-old motorcycle and purchased a brand new one. You can transfer your existing NCD from your old motorcycle to the new motorcycle.
If you bought a second motorcycle, you can decide which motorcycle will benefit from the NCD you've earned on your first motorcycle.
What is my NCD if I have been riding as a named rider on somebody else's policy?
If you have been a named rider on someone else's insurance, you are not entitled to any NCD.

Can I protect my NCD? What is NCD Protector Plus?
DirectAsia offers customers with NCD20, NCD25, and NCD30 the opportunity to protect their NCD status through the purchase of NCD Protector Plus for a nominal fee.
