Car insurance without no-claims years: is that possible?

Your no-claims years (SVJ) determine your no-claim discount: the more claim-free years, the higher your step on the bonus-malus ladder and the lower your premium. Do you have no no-claims years, dan start u op een lage trede en betaalt u meer. Uw auto verzekeren kan echter altijd — de WA-Coverage is bovendien wettelijk verplicht.

Common situations: you are a first-time carer, you drove a for years company car or a lease car (where often no SVJ have been accrued or registered), you are returning from the abroad, or you have been uninsured for more than a year, causing your no-claims years to expire. Sometimes an insurer accepts a employer's declaration or a foreign cancellation statement to grant you claim-free years after all.

How can I still get a good premium without claim-free years?

By comparing starting tiers, submitting an employer's or cancellation statement where possible, choosing an insurer with a driving style or telematics discount, and starting with appropriate coverage. You then build up a discount for each claim-free year. At Finass Insures we look for the insurer that insures you most favorably without SVJ.

More about the Car insurance

Third-party liability insurance is legally required for every car, but which coverage suits you? From just third-party liability to Third-Party + Limited Comprehensive (WA+) and All-Risk — the right choice depends on the value and age of your car.

What does car insurance cover?+
  • ✓Third-party liability (legally required): damage you cause to others with your car
  • ✓Third-Party Liability + Limited Comprehensive (WA+): also theft, fire, storm, hail, and glass damage
  • ✓Collision with animals and sometimes joyriding or parking damage (limited comprehensive)
  • ✓All-risk (fully comprehensive): also includes damage to your own car caused by your own fault
  • ✓New value or purchase value scheme for young cars
  • ✓Additional: legal assistance for traffic, passengers, and roadside assistance

We (Finass Verzekert) independently compare car insurance from more than 30 insurers — so you get the best coverage at the lowest premium.

Why is car insurance important?+
  • ✓Third-party liability insurance is legally required for every car.
  • ✓With limited comprehensive coverage, you are also covered for theft, fire, storm, and glass damage.
  • ✓All-risk also covers damage caused by your own fault — handy for a new or expensive car
  • ✓You build up claim-free years and receive a no-claim discount (up to 80%).
Who is car insurance suitable for?+
  • ✓Third-party liability: older cars with a low current market value or a second car
  • ✓Third-party liability plus (limited comprehensive): cars aged 5-10 years with a risk of theft or glass damage
  • ✓Comprehensive: new or more expensive cars, or a car with an outstanding loan
  • ✓Everyone who is legally required to insure their car
Tips for closing+
  • ✓Choose the coverage based on the value and age of your car (comprehensive is often cost-effective up to ~6 years).
  • ✓Pay attention to the total loss policy: new value, purchase value, or current market value
  • ✓Weigh the deductible against the premium (often a lower deductible for glass damage)
  • ✓Paying for minor damage yourself can be cheaper than losing your no-claims bonus.
  • ✓Consider additional coverages: legal assistance, passengers, and roadside assistance.
How do you find the best car insurance?+

The premium depends on your age, place of residence, type of car, your claim-free years, and the chosen coverage. Finass Verzekert independently compares more than 30 insurers so that you find the right coverage at the most competitive premium.

Which coverage do you choose without no-claims years?

Even without claim-free years, you can choose from Third-Party Liability (WA), Third-Party Liability + Limited Comprehensive, and All-Risk. Because the premium is higher without claim-free years, many drivers start with Third-Party Liability or Third-Party Liability + Limited Comprehensive and upgrade later; the premium decreases per claim-free year.

PREMIUM CALCULATION

What does your premium without claim-free years depend on?

Without no-claims years you start on a lower rung of the bonus-malus ladder, resulting in a higher premium. In addition, your age, place of residence, the car, and usage play a role. Insurers each use their own starting rung, causing premiums to vary significantly.

By comparing via Finass Verzekert, you can see which insurer offers you the most favorable starting level without SVJ. For every claim-free year you accumulate thereafter, your premium decreases further.

Taking out car insurance without no-claims years: this is how it works

Without claim-free years, it is primarily a matter of choosing the right insurer and starting level. Where possible, provide a employer's declaration (company car) or a foreign cancellation statement in, so that you still receive SVJ. We compare more than 30 insurers and handle the entire application for you.

The 4 steps to switching

  1. Calculate your premium via our tool with your license plate
  2. Compare the providers and choose the most favorable starting step
  3. We handle the cancellation with your old insurer
  4. Your new policy takes effect immediately after the notice period

When can you cancel?

Not every insurer accepts drivers without SVJ or applies the same starting level. With an employer's statement or cancellation statement, you can sometimes still obtain claim-free years. If you do not have one, you accrue a discount per claim-free year. We look for the insurer that currently offers you the most favorable coverage.

Frequently asked questions about car insurance without no-claims bonus

All the answers to the most frequently asked questions about car insurance without no-claims years, listed together.

Can I insure a car without claim-free years?

Yes, that is always possible. Without claim-free years, you start on a lower rung of the bonus-malus ladder, resulting in a higher premium. Not every insurer uses the same starting rung, so comparing pays off. We look for the company that offers you the most favorable insurance without claim-free years.

Why do I pay more without claim-free years?

Claim-free years entitle you to a no-claim discount: the more years without damage, the higher your tier and the lower your premium. Without those years, you miss out on the discount and pay the basic premium. Your premium decreases for every claim-free year you accumulate.

I have always had a lease car or a company car; do I have claim-free years?

Often not automatically. With a lease or company car, the insurance is usually in the name of the employer or leasing company, meaning no SVJ (No Claims History) is registered for you. With an employer's statement, some insurers will still recognize your no-claims history. We can help you with that.

I am from abroad; do my no-claims years count?

Sometimes they do. With a foreign cancellation statement listing your claim-free history, certain insurers can (partially) take over your years. Not every company does this. We know which insurers accept a foreign statement.

My no-claims years have expired, how is that possible?

No-claims years generally expire if you have not had a car insured in your name for more than a year. They can also drop significantly after multiple claims. You then start building them up again; we look for the most favorable starting situation.

How do I build up (or rebuild) no-claims years?

For every year you drive without damage, a claim-free year is added and you move up the ladder. A no-claim protection plan can prevent a single claim from immediately setting back your accumulated years. Meanwhile, a driving style or telematics discount can lower the premium.

Which coverage do I choose if I have no claim-free years?

Because the premium is higher without Social Security Contributions, many drivers initially opt for Third-Party Liability (WA) or Third-Party + Limited Comprehensive (WA + Beperkt Casco) and expand later. For a new or valuable car, All-Risk remains a sensible choice. Calculate your premium using the tool to compare the options.

How much does car insurance without no-claims years cost?

That depends on the starting level, your age, the car, and usage. Without SVJ, the premium is higher, but the differences between insurers are significant. Calculate your premium using the tool for an up-to-date figure.
