*Your OUTbonus operates across all your policies with OUTsurance (with the same customer number). When you make a claim your OUTbonus is forfeited, and the three-year cycle starts again. However, certain claims like windscreen repair do not effect your OUTbonus. You need to remain a customer with OUTsurance for the entire OUTbonus period to receive your OUTbonus.
