What is it? The driving experience check tool is a prompt to remind you of CV9. For any new starters, you may not be familiar with CV9’s game. Think of this as a lifeline for any quotes with limited no claims bonus. CV = commercial vehicle experience, 9 = 9 years claim free (none fault claims are okay).
How do I use it? Locate this tool from the validation tools page:
Hit the down arrow to expand the tool:
All you’d need to do is change driving experience to ‘Commercial Vehicle’ and to the right, you’d enter the amount of years of claim free driving (maximum of 9 years).
This tool won’t always guarantee you discounts, and in some cases may even increase the premium. But as a general rule it is always best to test this tool for a price if you see it displayed. Just make sure to revert your changes if they do negatively impact the premium.
CV9 doesn’t require any proof, although if you do list it and fault claims are found, this will cause issues and potentially lead to the policy being cancelled.
