Introduction
In Toulouse, urban mobility is constantly evolving: car, two-wheeled vehicles, carpooling… For young professionals seeking simplicity and security, car insurance remains an essential step. But before comparing or taking out new coverage, one document will be systematically requested: the car insurance information statement. What is it? Why is it essential in your procedures? How to obtain and use it effectively? At Allianz Toulouse Languedoc - PIERRE-ANTOINE OURLIAC EI, we take the time to clarify this key document, emphasizing the proximity, listening, and simplicity that make our reputation among the people of Toulouse.
What is a car insurance information statement?
The car insurance information statement is an official document, transmitted by your current or previous insurance company. It summarizes your driving history: number of years insured, declared claims (responsible or not), no-claims bonus, identification of the main drivers, and sometimes particular incidents (license suspension, payment default…). This statement plays a determining role in assessing your risk profile and pricing your new insurance.
It’s a bit like your "automotive identity card," required by all companies when you want to change insurance, whether for a formula suited to urban use, an electric vehicle, or professional use. Without it, it’s difficult to obtain a fair and quick quote!
What is the purpose of the information statement?
The information statement facilitates transparency between insurers and allows for a personalized offer to be proposed to you. Thanks to this document, your new insurer can appreciate your experience, your driving history, and best adapt your guarantees. This serves in particular to:
- Calculate your no-claims bonus coefficient
- Identify any past claims
- Determine the appropriate level of deductible
- Validate the conditions for potential discounts or pricing advantages
In practice, presenting an up-to-date information statement allows for faster subscription and avoids unpleasant surprises. When changing car insurance, it also helps you objectively compare offers: a study by Road Safety shows that the no-claims bonus system, visible on this statement, directly impacts the cost of your insurance and the extent of your guarantees.
How to obtain your information statement?
Requesting the information statement is a right for every insured person. Since 2015, the insurer is required to provide you with this document upon simple request, or automatically upon termination. You can obtain it:
- By phone from your advisor
- Via your online client space, depending on the insurer
- By registered mail
At Allianz Toulouse Languedoc, we assist you in simplifying this process. If you plan to take out new insurance, remember to anticipate the request for this document, often available within 15 days. Our advisors remain available to guide you, whether in the agency, online, or by phone.
Information statement and offer comparison: what you need to know
When comparing different car insurance offers, the information statement plays a central role. It ensures that each quote is established according to your actual criteria, without approximation. This allows you to:
- Benefit from transparent pricing
- Enjoy guarantees consistent with your history
- More easily negotiate advantages (free months, discounts for young drivers, etc.)
In Toulouse, where urban mobility is undergoing significant changes, having an updated information statement facilitates the search for a suitable formula, particularly for low-mileage drivers or electric vehicles. To delve deeper into comparing local offers and understanding how to choose the insurance most suited to your profile, we recommend consulting the article Car Insurance Information Statement: Everything You Need to Understand to Choose the Best Offer in Toulouse, which details the specifics of the Toulouse market.
