What is it really?

It is the insurance company taking into consideration your normal behaviour, if you don't normally have accidents then insurer will calculate you policy accordingly.

But there are some catches, you must be able to prove that you never claimed, (previous insurer details for example), and by definition you must never have made a claim.
Sadly some insurers tend to refuse the no claims bonus even if the claims you did make were not your fault, the reason been that not only you are a good offensive driver but you are also a good defensive driver, (quite hard to achieve).

What do I get out of it?

Cheaper premiums, preferential status and so on.
If you are likely to never claims then it is in the interest of the insurance company to have you in their books.
Use it to your advantage when shopping around for a insurance.

Where can I claim my "No Claims bonus"?

Unfortunately it is not up to you to decide when you are entitled to a bonus. Most insurance companies will only offer a "no claims bonus" to new customers. So it does pay to shop around.

My Insurer does not offer that bonus, what next?

The simplest way it to compare with other companies, what benefits do they offer.
It might be tempting to jump to the cheapest premium but you need to look at other factors as well, such the actual value of the compensation and extras, (free car rental while the claim is been settled).
As a general rule, a good company will offer a no claims bonus.
