Cant get no claims history

I worked for a company that ceased trading 4 years ago, I dont know who they insured the vans with, is there any way I can find out from registration plates or can I ring anywhere ?

    If the company insured the vans then this would not beyour personal no claims discount. It belongs to the policyholder.

    You may find a local broker may be able to get you a quote that reflects your accident free record, but by the sounds of it you don't have any NCD in your name.
    If it was your NCD then it would also have expired.

    Hi

    I have a letter from my last employers vehicle broker saying I have 4 yrs with them and full no claims up till 31st December 2010 so if I can get the previous employer before that broker to say the same then I will have 8 years full no claims, all insurance companies want is proof of no claims whether it be your own vehicle or your employers vehicle.

    Think I am ok as I have just found a proof of no claims from 2006 for one of my cars a couple of weeks before my other one kicked in so now I have ten years no claim.:j

    Hi, in the distant past I was in a similar situation but could not get any proof however I was able to get 4 years without any proof. Most companies class 5 years as the maximum and with those that do take each extra year into account it only makes a tiny difference, I think you will be lucky to get more than 5 years but good luck anyway.

    Check with the Insurer they will accept you as having maximum no claims bonus based on the proof you have before you commit yourself to buying a policy

    Yes definitely do that.
    A lot of people sign up and don't realise their proof doesn't qualify and then get a nasty shock.
