Are you a convicted driver owner?

What type of car insurance do I need?

Like a normal car insurance policy, you will have to decide between the three main types of policy: fully comprehensive; third party, fire and theft; and third party. A fully comprehensive policy will protect you, your vehicle and other drivers from any damage you may cause in the event of an accident, and cover you for fire and theft. A third party, fire and theft policy will cover you for damage to others or their vehicles, and fire and theft of your own vehicle. Third party is the lowest level of cover, and only protects against damage you cause to others, their vehicle and property, it is typically the most expensive of the three.

How much does convicted driver insurance cost?

Unfortunately a driver with at least one conviction will pay on average 75% more for their car insurance than a driver with a clean driving history. However it is most important to declare your convictions because failure to do so may invalidate your policy and the insurer may not pay out in the event of a claim. Convictions will become spent after a period of time, but you should be sure to discuss these details with your broker.
