Does a windscreen claim affect your NCB, or is it like having another, entirely separate insurance policy? I can't imagine why anyone would want to lose NCB for the sake of £80 worth of glass.

I've never lost NCB because of glass claims.

IME, only Direct Line will increase the quote for a policy due to glass=20 claims.

And =A380 quids worth of glass can work out almost =A3300+VAT (Autoglass pr= ice)=20 for the heated windscreen for my car!
