Zurich - penalty points only 3 years not 5
« on: 02 December 2009, 17:44 »
I did a quote for zurich and when i filled out the form it only wanted convictions for the last 3 years not the typical 5 years everyone seems to want.

Just a heads up as i got 6 points four years ago so any other insurance company would still sting me so got a lovely fully comp price!

Points are valid for 3 years and stay on your licence for 4. Different insurance companies will look at them in different ways  :smiley:


Keeping schtum. Mostly.

Yeah just to concrete that, with us at HIC penalty points only make a difference to your premium for 3 years, but we ask for history of 5 years, but once its over the 3 year period it wouldn't actually increase your premium in any way.
