Your first year matters – and we’re celebrating it

We know choosing a new insurance provider takes trust. That’s why we’re introducing our exclusive first year no claims bonus – available only to new Stanhope clients.

Here’s how it works:

  • Make it through your first year with us claim-free
  • Earn a 5% discount on your renewal premium*
  • Keep this discount year after year, as long as you remain claim-free

Why this matters for the luxury item comparison site

Unlike standard policies, your luxury assets deserve more than generic coverage. Our no claims bonus recognizes that:

  • Quality clients deserve quality rewards – Your careful stewardship of valuable assets shouldn’t go unnoticed.
  • Long-term relationships matter – We’re investing in your future with us, not just your first year.
  • Bespoke policies deserve bespoke benefits – This exclusive offer reflects our tailored approach to everything we do.

✓ Exclusive to existing clients – A genuine well-done reward

✓ Lifetime benefit – Keep the discount as long as you’re claim-free

✓ No complicated tiers – Simple, transparent 5% saving

Ready to start your journey with us?

Fabulous service. Honestly can’t fault them and will most definitely recommend them. I worked with Emily who was utterly fantastic!

Some other T&Cs

  • Applies to all products on our comparison site.
  • The discount is automatically applied at renewal so there’s nothing you need to do.
  • Once you make a claim, regardless of what year, then you will lose the 5% discount at the next renewal.

*Discount is off the premium not including the Stanhope fee

Written by Matthew Ashton

I started working in the insurance industry in 2004. Four years later, I left to focus on theological studies, working as a youth worker and then as a ministry director in Seattle, USA. When returning to the UK, I had an opportunity to work for the late Andrew Marchington. I joined his firm as a sales advisor when it had around ten staff members. Within three years, I was Head of Ops with a staff team of over 30 people. After a chance encounter in 2019 with Rachel Living and Will Cooper, I co-started Stanhope to build a high-value home, luxury watch, and jewellery broker synonymous with trust. I love being with Donna, my wife, and four kids when not working, cramming in the odd row, or run when I can. I am fortunate to love what I do and consider it a blessing to grow the Stanhope brand.
