companies that may only look back three years for claims and driving history include:
Certain state laws may also limit how far insurance companies can look back. While these providers sometimes only use a few years of your driving and claims history in their calculations, you shouldn’t count on it.
Car insurance providers can and often do access up to seven years of your claims and driving history through a shared database: the Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE).
