Car insurance after an accident

Not happy that after over 40 years of non fault accidents, i clipped a car parking. I have no claims bonus insurance. I am wanting to change insurers. Will it affect the insurance quote?

  • You'll need to declare the incident, which insurers will then take into account.

    Did they claim off your insurance for the incident? If so, then yes it will.


    With insurers, driving history only exists for 5 years, so unfortunately the other 35 years of claim free driving it moot.

    You can find out what difference this fault claim will make to premiums now by doing dummy quotes online with and without the claim in your history.
