We all want to save on car insurance. Part of saving is about understanding the type of information used by insurers to set rates. Insurers use many different factors, including your insurance history, to assess and determine car insurance quotes.
Sometimes, insurers don’t have all the information or they need clarification about your policy history. A letter of experience can provide insurers with the information they need while helping you save.
An insurance letter of experience is a document you can request from your current and previous provider. It is a record of your history as an insured driver with the company. It serves as a letter of reference and provides insurers with important information about your insurance history.
The document can verify the information you have provided to a new insurer and potentially help you lower your costs.
There are a number of situations where a letter of insurance experience is useful :
A letter of insurance experience outlines your history with an insurer. They typically include this information :
Note : If you have had policies with a number of insurers, you will need letters from each one.

While they are not required, it doesn’t hurt to ask if a letter could help you save. The information provided could help you qualify for discounts, save money, and lower your costs.
Yes, a letter of experience may help you qualify for insurance discounts such as customer loyalty, claims free and others based on the discounts offered by the insurer. Getting one can help you save, and so it's worth it.
The process for requesting a letter of experience is straightforward. All you need to do is request a letter from your insurance company. Only the insurer that provided you with a policy can give you a letter of experience.
It’s recommended to request a letter of experience each time you switch providers. This will ensure you have an updated record of insurance and will save you the time and hassle of requesting one in the future.
A letter of experience has information related to a driver's history, such as policy dates, claims history and cancellation reasons. A drivers history report contains information about your driving record such your type of drivers license with dates, demerit points and driving convictions.
