Procedures for taking over the automobile insurance grade
What is the procedure for taking over the grade?
I will explain in a common case.
Case
My parents’ car is insured and the son I live with bought a new car, so I need to sign the new car. At this time, if you make a new insurance contract for the child who lives together, the insurance premium will be higher, so I would like to give the upper grades of the parent who has a discount on the insurance premium to the child who lives together.
- Replacement of the car of the main contract (contract A) currently signed to the car of the child living together
- Name of father’s contract (contract) Father ⇒ Cohabitation (it is now possible to pass the qualifications of the parents to the children who live together)
- Parents purchase new car insurance (contract B)
Grade transfer when the registered insured person dies
Even if the registered insured dies, the degree of auto insurance can be transferred to the family. Again, only the spouse of the registered insured, the cohabiting relatives of the registered insured, and the relatives living with the spouse of the registered insured can inherit the degree.
When you take over the degree, the enrolled insured changes, so the relationship with each family member also changes. Please note that if there are conditions such as spouse restrictions, coverage will change according to the change of registered insurer. Check for incidental conditions so that you can adequately cover the area where you need compensation.
Also, if you don’t want to drop your car and take the qualification right away, you can keep the qualification for 10 years by issuing a certificate of suspension.
How to transfer grades between insurance companies?
If you change insurance companies, you can basically take over the previous grade. Please note, however, that some mutual aid may not be able to transfer rating to the non-life insurance company.
In the case of adult car insurance, the rating can be assumed, quoted and applied for on the site only in the following mutual aid cases.
- Mutual Help JA (Agricultural Cooperative)
- Zenrosai
- National automotive mutual aid (all self-help)
- Nichifire Ren (Japan Fire Fighting Mutual Aid Cooperative) Includes the old SME mutual aid contract.
Do you want to take charge of your grades? If you transfer the rating between insurance companies, it will expire if the rating changes during the contract period. However, if there is no accident for a year, the upgrade time may be extended and the insurance premium may increase. Conditions like insurance premiums and discounts vary by insurance company, so expiration time isn’t always good, but consider carefully when to switch to car insurance.
Also, as a general rule, the expiration date (or cancellation date) of the previous insurance should be the same as the start date of the coverage of the next insurance, and there should be no uninsured period.
The grade cannot be assumed unless the next insurance coverage start date is after the expiration date and within 7 days of the day after the expiration date.
If there is a period between letting go of your car and buying your next car, we recommend that you issue a suspension certificate to maintain your rating.
If You Can’t Assume The Auto Insurance Grade Even If You Meet The Conditions

Even if you have car insurance, you will not be able to take over the grade unless you complete the renewal procedure within 7 days of the expiration date.
