What documents do I need for car insurance in France?
To get car insurance in France, you typically need the following documents:
4 documents to get insurance in France :
- Driver’s License : A valid French or foreign license
- Vehicle Registration (Carte Grise) : Proof of ownership of the car
- Previous Insurance Certificate : If you were insured before, it helps with no-claims bonuses (in France, the document is called a “relevé d’information”)
- Proof of address in France (utility bill, rental contract)
Can I transfer my no-claims bonus to a French car insurance policy?
Yes, you can transfer your no-claims bonus (NCB) to a French car insurance policy, but it depends on the insurer. Most French insurance companies accept foreign NCBs if you provide a certificate of claims history (“relevé d’information”) from your previous insurer.
What You Need to Provide:
- A translated no-claims certificate from your previous insurer.
- Proof of continuous insurance coverage.
Not all insurers accept foreign NCBs. At Allianz, we accept.
