NEW EAGLE STAR CV DISCOUNTS • Insurance group Eagle Star is offering new discount rates on its commercial motor policies with effect from 1 January 1989, with a maximum 60% no-claim discount after six years. This is the highest level of discount available in this sector of the market, claims the company.
Further benefits include a 15% "intermediate" discount for policyholders who have made no more than one claim in the previous 12 months, but who have not earned discount. In addition, a claim does not erase the discount altogether, but merely reduces it by two levels.
The same benefits of this discount scale apply to any goods-carrying commercial vehicles insured under Eagle Star's Farm and Estate Policy.
