Get Car Insurance Without a Check
It is not possible to purchase car insurance without a background check. This is because insurers want to know whether you have filed claims in the past or whether you are (or have been) a delinquent payer. Even in that case, you can still purchase car insurance.

Why Insurers Review Insurance Applications
Taking out standard auto insurance isn't always easy. Insurers take a close look at your history before accepting you as a customer—especially if you've had your policy canceled, filed claims, or fallen behind on payments in the past.
Insurers verify this by asking a series of underwriting questions because they want to minimize their risks. In doing so, an insurer reviews your claims history, payment history, and personal circumstances, such as a recent move or past financial difficulties. Unfortunately, this check is mandatory when purchasing auto insurance.
Acceptance Questions
Do you want to switch insurers or take out a new insurance policy? If so, you’ll always have to answer a number of underwriting questions when taking out a new insurance policy. These questions cover topics such as your claims history, whether you’ve ever been declined or canceled by an insurer, and whether you’ve had any traffic convictions. They also ask about how you use the car (personal, business, courier services) and the number of claim-free years you’ve accumulated.
Insurers use this information to assess your risk profile as a consumer. Based on that, they determine whether to accept you, what coverage to offer, and what your premium will be. Always provide honest and complete answers, because inaccurate information can lead to problems later on, such as in the event of damage or a claim.
Risk Analysis
Insurance companies prefer to pay out as little in claims as possible. This is partly because otherwise they would have to raise premiums for their customers. So they prefer policyholders who don’t cause any problems. That’s why they conduct a risk analysis.
This risk analysis takes into account, among other things, the type of car, the driver’s driving history, and the driver’s license status. They assess the likelihood that they will have to pay out compensation in the future.
For example, young drivers with few or no claim-free years pose a greater risk than experienced drivers with 15 claim-free years. Similarly, older drivers also pose a greater risk.
Situations in Which You Are Rejected
In the following situations, there is a high likelihood of rejection:
- You have a CIS registration (e.g., due to nonpayment, fraud, or expulsion)
- You have a negative claims history (many claims or questionable claims)
- You have accumulated negative no-claims years
- You were previously terminated by another insurer
- You provided incorrect or incomplete information with your application
- You have a criminal record or a driving suspension (traffic-related)
- Your car is being used for high-risk purposes, such as courier services or car rentals, without the appropriate insurance
- You have not paid your previous premium payments
- You are not registered at the same address as on the previous policy (in the case of family arrangements)
Never drive without insurance
You are required to have insurance as soon as the car is registered in your name and has a license plate. Are you having trouble getting car insurance? Not having car insurance is not an option.
If you drive an uninsured car, there’s a chance you ’ll be fined. The RDW and the police can check whether a car is insured. Driving an uninsured car can also result in (additional) fines and a record with Stichting CIS.
A CIS registration
If you are registered with Stichting CIS, there is a good chance your application will be denied. With a CIS registration, you almost always pay more for insurance. A CIS registration can result from various causes. These include, for example, driving while insured for a loss, a payment delinquency, or loss of driving privileges.
When applying for car insurance, it’s important to always be honest about your CIS registration. If you lie on your application or don’t disclose all the facts, your insurance policy may be canceled retroactively. So be open about your situation.

The United's Underwriting Requirements
De Vereende does have a number of eligibility requirements for taking out an insurance policy:
- Your application for auto insurance will not be accepted by a traditional insurance company.
- You must pay 3 months' premiums in advance, even if you choose to pay monthly.
- The insurance policy does not take effect until the first premium has been received and a signed application form has been submitted.
- You pay a security deposit of €268. You pay this when you take out the insurance policy. The insurer may use this security deposit to cover any outstanding premiums. At the end of the insurance term, the security deposit may be used to offset any outstanding amounts. If there are no claims or outstanding premiums at the end of the insurance term, you will receive a full refund of the amount.

Save on Your Insurance Premium
Saving on your auto insurance starts with determining the right coverage. This depends entirely on your personal situation. Is liability insurance enough, or would you prefer comprehensive coverage? If you opt for liability insurance only, your premium will be lower. Always read the terms and conditions of a specific insurance policy carefully so you know what is and isn’t covered.
Sometimes it may be a good idea to drive an inexpensive car with liability insurance for a while so that you can rebuild your claim-free years and your CIS registration has expired.
Higher car insurance deductible
When taking out car insurance, you can often choose a higher deductible. In the event of a claim, you pay a larger portion yourself before the insurer pays out. The advantage of this is that your car insurance premium is usually lower.
A higher deductible may seem appealing because of the lower monthly payments, but if you file a claim, you might end up having to pay a lot out of pocket. Think about whether you have that kind of money.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Insurance Without a Credit Check
Is there such a thing as car insurance without a credit check?
No, every insurer conducts some form of underwriting review. De Vereende has a more lenient underwriting policy. They also accept customers with a difficult insurance history, such as those whose policies have been canceled or who have filed many claims.
Can I purchase auto insurance without having my claim-free years checked?
No, this is always checked. Insurers want to know how many claim-free years you’ve accumulated in order to determine your premium. If you have none, a negative number, or very few claim-free years, you can still get insurance, but the premium is often higher.
Can I get insurance without a CIS or Roy-Data check?
Generally speaking, no. Virtually all major insurers check the Central Information System (CIS) and Roy-Data when processing a new application. They use these systems to verify your claims history and any previous policy cancellations. This information is visible to all participating insurers.
You can, however, purchase insurance from a provider that is willing to accept customers with a CIS record, such as De Vereende. At De Vereende, your application will be reviewed, and you will almost always be accepted.
We'll give you an immediate estimate of your premium with Vereende.
Will my credit history (BKR) be checked when I purchase auto insurance?
No, insurance companies do not perform a BKR check the way banks do. Your financial situation is only taken into account if, for example, you have had an insurance policy canceled in the past due to nonpayment.
What are my options if regular insurers turn me down?
If you’ve been turned down multiple times, you can turn to a specialized insurer such as de Vereende. They’re there for people who have difficulty getting insurance elsewhere. Keep in mind, however, that you’ll face higher premiums and additional conditions, such as a security deposit.
Can I still insure my car today without a check?
Yes, with most online insurers, you can be insured within a few minutes. As long as your information is correct and there are no red flags, you’ll receive your policy by email almost immediately. With Vereende, it sometimes takes a little longer due to additional requirements.
Can I just switch to another insurer or take out a new car insurance policy?
Yes, in principle, you can switch to another auto insurance provider at any time, especially if you don’t have any special records on file. If you don’t have a CIS record and you’ve had a claims-free history or have been properly insured, you can easily take out a new auto insurance policy.
Do you have CIS coverage? If so, switching insurers may be more difficult. Mainstream insurers often reject such applications. In that case, you can turn to De Vereende.
