Legitimate Car Insurance
13 Answers
Recently my wife took out her car insurance policy with a company she's never used before called AIM. Apparently there part of AXA. The policy seemed reasonable which is why she went with them.
The thing I'm a little bit sceptical about is once the policy was agreed over the phone, the company requested her to send personal documents such as proof of no claims, proof of utility bill, driving license paper and photo, and copy of the log book. Neither of us have ever had to send all this information off when getting car insurance in the past. proof of no claims,fine, driving license, fine, utility bill I suppose I understand why they need it but the log book just seems bizarre. Its enough info for us to become victims of identity fraud.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I recently took insurance with a new insurer (to me, I shop around when I receive my renewal quote)) and they also wanted more details than I have ever needed to supply before, including log book. I suppose if it's your name on the log book, it proves you own the car and therefore you're more likely to be careful.

Just changed my Car Insurers. All they wanted was Name, Address, Car details and proof of NCD and of course some money. Only thing that went through the post was proof of NCD.
Personally, I'd be a bit wary of all the detail as well. They've got enough for identity fraud, bearing in mind I assume you paid over the 'phone so they've got your bank details as well.
