Claims history

Last reviewed 25 July 2026 · by the Savvy Insurance editorial team

What is claims history?

Your claims history is the record of claims you have made across insurers over time. A clean history typically means lower premiums and a no-claim bonus, while frequent claims can raise your premium.

Example

A five-year clean claims history helps you negotiate a lower premium when switching insurers.
