Personal information you provide may be shared with insurers, intermediaries, agents, and reinsurers for the following purposes:
• Processing your quotation and insurance application;

By requesting a quotation through www.quotixmotorinsurance.co.uk, you authorise Quotix Motor Insurance Price Searcher and its affiliated providers (including comparison websites, brokers, or underwriters) to perform credit and identity checks where necessary.

Insurers may also request a credit scoring assessment, which uses various factors to determine financial reliability. This may impact whether your application is accepted or declined.
