What is effective cost of cover?

All policies do not normally allow new customers to claim in the first 14 or 28 days (please see individual Summary of Covers for each policy for further details). This is to prevent claims for previously known problems which in turn helps us to keep the annual cost of the policy as low as possible. The normal price quoted is for a full year but when we take off the initial no claim period in the first year you get either eleven or eleven and a half months' cover. The ECC is therefore the monthly price for the period over which you can claim. It is calculated by dividing the annual premium by either eleven or eleven and a half months based on the specific no claim period. The no claim period is only applicable to the first year of cover.
