You can usually get car insurance quotes without uploading documents, but you will need details such as your car’s registration number, address, occupation, annual mileage, driving history and any claims or convictions. Have your driving licence information and the names and dates of birth of any additional drivers to hand. If you want a no-claims discount, the insurer may later ask for proof, such as a renewal notice or a letter from your previous insurer. Check the quote carefully and provide accurate information, as incorrect details could affect a future claim.
