Material information

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

What is material information?

Material information is any fact that would influence an insurer's decision to offer cover or set the premium. You have a duty to disclose it accurately; non-disclosure of material facts can void a claim or the policy.

Example

A previous insurance cancellation is material information - failing to disclose it could invalidate your cover.
