What to have ready for a quote
A one-page list. Print it or keep it on your phone.
- Name and date of birth for each driver in the home
- Your home address (where the cars park at night)
- Each car’s VIN (registration, insurance card, or driver’s door jamb)
- Who finances or leases each car, if any (just the name)
- Your current insurance company, and when it renews
- Rough dates of any tickets or accidents in the last 5 years
- When you want the new policy to start
Not needed for a quote: your license number (the insurer asks for it when you apply), your current policy number, or a payment method. Why.
