A good quote comes together quickly when the data is at hand. This list contains everything a casco quote request needs – and nothing it doesn't: no personal documents required, just ten minutes of preparation. The registration certificate holds almost everything you'll need.
In brief:- The data falls into four groups: vehicle, equipment, usage, history – the registration certificate is the best source.
- No document copies are needed for the quote request – that comes at the signing stage.
- This list also forms the basis of your value file: at claim time, these same details work in your favour.
The Four Data Groups
- Vehicle (from the registration certificate): make and model, year, chassis number, engine size and power, fuel type, date of first registration, mileage (odometer reading).
- Equipment: the factory trim level plus a list of any aftermarket extras (alloy wheels, tech, tow bar, wrap/foil) – with photos, if you have them.
- Usage and storage: estimated annual mileage, typical routes (city vs. motorway), storage (garage / yard / street), who drives it (with ages), private or company use.
- History and preferences: claims history from recent years, security measures (alarm, immobiliser, tracker), whether it's financed (loan/lease), deductible preference, add-on needs (assistance, replacement car, baggage).
Why These, and What Happens to Them?
Every detail feeds into a pricing or cover factor: the vehicle details drive the base pricing, the equipment drives the value, the usage drives the risk profile, the history drives the discounts – the map of factors shows how they connect. I use this data for the quote request, in confidence – details in the Privacy notice. The exact document details will be needed at signing – but that's the next stage.
