Gather the pertinent documents and information needed to obtain an accurate quotation. You will need information about your drivers, vehicles and coverage selections. This information should include your vehicle identification numbers, lien-holder information if applicable, drivers' license numbers, and driving history such as accidents and violations. If you or any of your drivers have been involved in insured claims, you should also gather the amounts that your insurance companies paid to settle those claims. The information will be included in your policy application to determine your eligibility and rates.
