If you are going to gather car insurance quotes online, in person or over the phone, the process will go much more quickly if you have all the necessary information ready. Different car insurance companies may request different types of information to determine the premium for your policy quote. There are some basic pieces of information that you will likely need to provide, however, regardless of the company or the type of policy. This information includes the following: 

  • Current insurance policy Declarations Page
  • Current vehicle information (make, model, year, etc.)
  • Driver’s license number (for each driver that will be covered)
  • Driving record information
  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

In order to set an accurate policy quote, including any applicable discounts, you may also need to have some supplementary information handy when you speak to an insurant agent or sales representative. Make sure to have the following documents and/or information handy when gathering car insurance quotes, if they apply to your situation:

  • College degree or current student information
  • Commute mileage (distance driven for work)
  • Prior insurance
  • Safety course certificate
  •  Vehicle safety information (low jack, homing device)
