I've been looking for a bike insurance renewal quote and have been told by the Broker that, following changes to regulations governing the way No Claims Bonus is applied, a named driver policy can usually get a maximum of 40% NCB while an unnamed driver policy can get up to 50%.

To me, this sounds like another daft idea on the level of 'insure the bike, not the rider'.

What do you think? Am I looking at it the wrong way?

But anyway, a warning to be aware for your next renewal.

EDIT - cars affected too, I suppose.

So just get unnamed driver policy?

Starting January 1, 2026, the OIC has changed the rules with respect to voluntary motor policies. It's now a requirement to name the driver(s), (up to five), on each policy. Un-named driver policies are no longer being issued by Thai insurers.
