How do I find out who my car insurance is with?

I've misplaced my car insurance docs. I've just sold it and now want to insure another car. However, I can't for the life of me remember which company the insurance is with. I paid for it in full, so I can't check bank statements etc... Is there a website or something that can help me?

Thanks

    Should be less than a year since you've paid it - online bank statements will still be available.

    Or call your branch tomorrow?

    Have you not had anything emailed through? I have my last 3 years insurance details in my email as I never delete them.

    I see where you can check for free if your vehicle is insured. But the bit where you pay £4 only seems to be available if you have been involved in an accident and want to check the other driver's insured. Is there a way on the site to check your own insurance details?

    Bank will give you statements if you call into branch with ID.
    What will your verse be?

  • Sorted now.:T
    I rang a well known insurance company who I thought might be who I had insurance with. It wasn't with them but I spoke very nicely to the woman, she had a word with her supervisor and they gave me a name of an insurance company (which I didn't recognise) and a a telephone number. I googled it and it turns out the company must be a sister company of Hastings - that's who I'm with.

    Insurance transferred and documents are going to be emailed to me!

    Thanks for all

    The free check merely says "Yep, your insurance is on the db". They assume you know who you're insured with. You'd need to be creative about the circumstances to request your own insurer's details.
