Proposal form

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

What is proposal form?

A proposal form is the application document where you give the insurer the information it needs to assess your risk - details about you, the item insured and your history. Answering fully and honestly is essential, as errors can affect a claim.

Example

On the proposal form you must disclose previous claims and modifications; leaving them out can lead to a rejected claim later.
