Protected no claims is an expensive option (currently £61.95 of my £359.10 premium) at 17.25% of the total or a 20.85% extra. It may protect your NCD but it does not protect your premium as my younger daughter discovered. The increased renewal premium for the year following an incident outweighed the the cost and benefits of the protected no claims; in the first year at least. Is protection worth the extra cost or is it a bit of a scam?
One of you may well have a definitive answer?

Not worth a penny IMO. It's another way of insurance companies selling you fairy dust at inflated prices - you think you have gained a benefit, and at renewal you do keep your %NCB but any insurer will then load your new premium simply for having a history of a recent claim.
