French term or phrase: coefficient de Réduction/Majoration de 0,76
Bonjour,

Je connais l'équivalent britannique 'no-claims discount' ou NCD mais je ne suis pas sûre si le chiffre apparaît en pourcentage ou doit être gardé tel quel, c-à-d "0.76".
Quelqu'un a-t-il une idée? il s'agit d'une lettre d'assurance.

It would always be shown as "a NCD of xx%". This is because in the UK it is a bonus only system, not a bonus-malus system. If you have a bad record your premium will of course rise, but the amount by which it will be increased is up to the insurer - there are no fixed percentage increases as there would be in a malus system.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I am still not sure whether to opt for 'X is paying 76% of the standard premium' or 'benefits from a No Claims Discount of 24%'. What is the most common in British NCD letters?

Asker: I don't think I've ever heard of a bonus-malus rate in the UK, so I'll stick with a NCD of 24%. Sorry for being so confused. Thanks Neil!
