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.

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.
