How can I request Roy-data claim-free years?

What this means for car insurance

When taking out a car insurance policy, the company will check in the Roy-data system how many claim-free years you have accumulated. If the claim-free years have not yet been claimed by another company, they will be assigned to the new policy.

Transition period

For car insurance policies cancelled before September 1, 2007, an official cancellation statement is still in circulation. Such a statement is valid for 1 year. So until September 1, 2008, you can still be asked for an original termination statement when taking out a new car insurance policy. Cancellations before September 1, 2007 are not yet in Roy-data.

Meanwhile, a lot of societies have changed the validity of an expulsion notice to sometimes as long as 3 years.

When canceling a car insurance policy after September 1, 2007, the customer will now receive a cancellation sheet showing the number of claim-free years. The company will transmit the number of claim-free years to the Roy-Data system. Insurance companies will no longer issue a paper termination statement. Only when emigrating will the company still issue a paper statement.

Claim-free years transferable since 1-1-2022

Since Jan. 1, 2022, claim-free years are transferable in some situations. Upon death, for example, they can be transferred to the surviving partner. Also for lease drivers and drivers who have lived abroad for years, it is now possible to transfer claim-free years. This way they do not lose their accumulated claim-free years.
