Marine Insurance Brokers IRCM Announce New No Claims Bonus Scheme for Marine Trade Businesses
(PRWEB) December 09, 2013 -- Specialist Marine Trade Insurance Broker IRCM has launched a No Claims Bonus rebate for their Bowline Marine Trade customers. Qualifying businesses will receive a 5% discount at policy inception and the discount level will increase by 5% at each renewal up to a maximum of 25%. Mark Elcocks, IRCM’s Specialist Risks Manager said, “This rewards good business practice and loyalty by delivering real savings to our customers in the mid and long terms.”
The new bonus-building facility compares favourably to other discount initiatives in the Marine Trade Market. Other providers will typically allow a 5% annual discount in return for their clients locking in for 3 years. In the event of somebody trying to walk away from one of these long term agreements the insurer will seek a “claw-back” of any discounts already applied during the agreement period. Mark went on to say, “There is no tie-in on Bowline Bonus in return for the no-claims discount, clients are free to walk away at any renewal if they wish and there is no claw-back”
The real difference between a traditional 5% annual discount with 3-year tie in and the Bowline Policy rebate can be seen in the table below. A marine business with an annual premium of £5000 before tax will attract an annual 5% discount of £250 from their traditional long-term tie-in. Over a 6-year period this adds up to a total discount of £1,500. The same period on a Bowline policy offering the bonus-building no-claims rebate would net a marine trader a whopping £5,000 in total.
