Can I get car insurance without an address?
When taking out car insurance, in addition to some information about the car, you also fill in your personal data. These are for example your date of birth, zip code and house number. Do you not (yet) have a permanent address in the Netherlands? Then it will be difficult to get a car insurance. Without an address you can not get car insurance. We are happy to tell you more here.
Address affects premium
One of the reasons you can't get car insurance without an address is because your address affects the premium. Insurers look mainly at statistics here. It turns out that more car accidents happen in the Randstad than in rural areas, for example. So if you live in the Randstad, you will probably pay more premium for car insurance than someone who lives outside it. It may even happen that premiums are considered on a street-by-street basis. Without an address, an insurer usually cannot accept an application for car insurance.
No address because you are staying abroad for an extended period of time
Are you going abroad for a longer period of time? If so, you should always notify your insurer. If you are going abroad temporarily, suspending the car might be an option. You don't have to have car insurance then either. If you are going to live abroad permanently, you cannot take out Dutch car insurance. To get a car insurance you have to be registered in the Netherlands. Because of this, as soon as you deregister in the Netherlands, the car insurance will be terminated.
Car insurance at another address
It is not possible to take out car insurance at another address. This is because this is not permitted. When taking out car insurance, you must fill in all the details truthfully. Moreover, your place of residence and zip code affect the amount of the premium. Without the correct information, an insurer cannot make a proper premium calculation. Moreover, if you provide a false address when taking out insurance, you are liable to punishment.
The only insurance you can get without an address is health insurance. In that case, you must have a letter address that is recorded in the Basisadministratie Personen (BRP). The municipality can help you with this. For car insurance, unfortunately, this is not possible because you do not live at the letter address.
