Will one point affect my insurance?

Does insurance cover guardrail damage?
Yes. Damage to the guardrail will be paid under your Property Damage Liability coverage. In all states, Property Damage Liability is required and part of the most basic of auto insurance policies. That coverage will pay if you are responsible for the cause of the loss, and without a deductible.
Is no claim bonus protection worth it?
It depends on your personal situation whether it’s worth protecting your no claims discount. If you have five years’ no claims discount, it will significantly cut the cost of your car insurance. You could lose all that for just one accident. You’ll continue to pay less on your premium even if you have an accident.
Does your premium go up if you’re not at fault?
On average, a not-at-fault accident makes insurance costs go up by about 12%, compared to 45% for an at-fault accident. Insurance rates can go up after a not-at-fault accident because statistics show that having any accident on your driving record makes you more likely to file a claim in the future.
What is the maximum no claim bonus?
For every year you’re insured without making a claim, you’ll earn another year’s NCB. You can build up an unlimited number of NCBs, but most insurers will only use a maximum of five years when working out a discount.
