How to Check Your Car Insurance Expiry Date: Video Transcript

Updated: 10 Sep 2025

Wondering when your car insurance expires? Here's how to find out your Car Insurance Expiry Date:

  1. Check your policy documents

    These are typically emailed to you upon purchasing your policy, and contain start and renewal dates. If not, you can access them online or contact your insurer.

  2. Look out for renewal notices

    Insurers typically send reminders via email before your policy expires. Some even auto-renew policies, so check if that applies to you.

  3. Review your bank statements

    If you opt to pay for your insurance monthly, your bank statements will show when your next payments are due.

  4. Contact your insurer

    Can’t find the details? A quick call to your insurer will clarify everything, including your renewal date.

  5. Use the Motor Insurance Database (MID)

    In the UK, you can check your insurance status for free at askMID.com. Just enter your vehicle registration number.

Remember, driving without valid insurance is illegal and can lead to severe penalties.
