“Act” insurance in Hong Kong motor insurance industry is of no importance in the insurer’s motor insurance business, because the coverage is so narrow, cannot expect somebody will buy it. The answer is D.

A significant and almost unique feature of motor insurance is the practice of granting a progressive discount, called the ” no claim discount” (NCD) or “claim free discount”, on the renewal annual premium if the preceding policy year has been claim-free. The answer is B.

With private cars, the NCD system operates on what is called a “step-back system”. This means that a single claim will not necessarily destroy an entitlement to next year’s discount. The answer is B.

With private cars, the NCD system operates on what is called a “step-back system”. This means that a single claim will not necessarily destroy an entitlement to next year’s discount.

With other types of vehicles, a single claim will mean that there will not be any NCD in the forthcoming year and a fresh claim-free year will be needed to earn the minimum discount again.

The answer is C.

A significant and almost unique feature of motor insurance is the practice of granting a progressive discount, called the “no claim discount” (NCD) or “claim free discount”, on the renewal annual premium if the preceding policy year has been claim-free.

A typical scale of NCD for private cars is such that one claim-free year earns a 20% NCD, the second year 30% and so on, rising to a maximum of 60% after five consecutive claim-free years. With other classes of vehicles, the scale of discount is very likely to start from 10%, rising to a maximum of 30% after three consecutive claim-free years.

The answer is C.

With private cars, the NCD system operates on what is called a “step-back system”. This means that a single claim will not necessarily destroy an entitlement to next year’s discount. For instance, with a four years’ entitlement (i.e. 50% NCD) for a policy year, a single claim during the
year will reduce the discount on renewal to 20%. The answer is C.
