If you have not violated any traffic rules for three consecutive years, you are entitled to a Certificate of Merit from the Singapore Traffic Police.
Should your NCD be 30% and above for a private car policy or 20% for a privately owned commercial vehicle policy, some insurers may reward you with a further 5% discount upon presentation of your Certificate of Merit.

Guide to No Claim Discount Bonus NCD
When your NCD is 50%, you are usually offered the option of purchasing a NCD Protector from the insurer. For the additional premium, you can reduce or stop your NCD bonus from hitting zero.
E.g. If you don't have any NCD Protector, and you get involved in a car accident, your NCD will drop from 50% to 20% for the first claim. The 2nd claim within the year, will cause your NCD to drop from 20% to zero!
Should you purchase NCD Protector, the following scenario will apply.
| No. of claims made or arisen during the period of insurance | NCD entitlement on renewal of the policy |
| One | 50% |
| Two | 20% |
| Three or more | Zero |
The cost of adding a NCD protector is on average $80 to $100, so ask your insurer or agent to add it in if you are eligible.
