Is the auto-insurance claim information shared if I switch the insurance company?

Hi! I am with auto-insurance company X right now and due to few number of insurance claims that I had made, my insurance is going up. I am wondering if I try to switch to some company Y, will X share my claims information with Y? Thanks!

Most of the time, yes they will find those prior claims.
Many insurance companies participate in a national database that tracks claims. They will also check you MVR records of any tickets or accidents. It is very difficult to slip one past an insurance company.
Fraudulently stating fewer claims than you actually have is not a good idea. If you filed another claim and the prior ones were discovered, they could deny the new claim, back charge you a higher rate, and/or cancel the policy on the spot.

Because your rate went up due to the claims, it's not a bad idea to shop around, just make sure they are rating you with knowledge of those prior claims.

Yes. Most insurance companies subscribe to a service called "CLUE". It's basically a data bank where companies share claim information with each other.

Most companies will order a "CLUE" report before issuing your policy and find out that you have had previous claims. It is always a good practice to go ahead disclose this information up front, if not the rate that you are quoted will not be accurate.

I would suggest getting as many quotes as possible!

Because rates vary hundreds of dollars with companies you might be surprised to find out that by comparison shopping your maybe able to get insurance through another company without seeing a huge increase.

As mentioned already the key is to getting as many quotes as possible. The easiest way to do this is by using free on line insurance rating services. I read a statistic that people who use these services usually save an average of 30%-40%. If that holds true for you then it basically you would most likely be able to keep your rates close to what you are currently paying.

There is a consumer site that I came across at: http://www.InsuranceEasy.org that has links to free quoting services that are reliable. By using each of the links listed on their auto insurance page you will end up with the 5 or 6 best quotes from hundreds of companies.

Hope this helps!

For auto insurance the quick way to get a great quote is do a rate comparison on auto policies. Make certain that you pick similar options with the same limits, car type, location, etc so that all options are a good comparison.

What I most often recommend is an internet comparison quote at http://www.lowratetoday.com since they have big name insurers and can give several prices on auto insurance polices.

Car insurance in Virginia?

Which companies are good? Which to stay away from?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Hard to say without knowing much part of Virginia you're in. Different areas in Virginia have different insurance companies. The one that is available in most areas which I feel is quite reliable is All State.

I've been with All State for a while and really have no problems. Then again, like I said, it depends where exactly you are.

Why I need to insure for my car?

If the accident is caused by you, you would be solely responsible for all the damages caused. These include, the other motorist’s car, the other motorist’s personal injuries, other people's injuries that were involved and any other damage caused. This total could add up to tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Without insurance, you would be responsible for paying this bill, and may have to work many years in order to pay off this debt. Even minor accidents can produce thousands of dollars in property damage and medical expenses! Having insurance protects you against this expense, and I would rather pay $2000 a year for insurance then risk getting into an accident and having to pay tens of thousands of dollars, to fix the other motorists car, and many more thousands in personal injury.


I need to take an insurance for my car because:

1. Myself

2. My family

3. My cars

Vehicle insurance

Vehicle insurance also known as auto insurance, car insurance, or motor insurance is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and other vehicles.

Its primary use is to provide protection against losses incurred as a result of traffic accidents and against liability that could be incurred in an accident.

Auto insurance protects the buyer from losses resulting from traffic accidents.
