If you are looking for drink driving insurance you have probably already taken part on a drink drive rehabilitation course to reduce your time without your licence or perhaps you are now excited about geting behind the wheel again.


When looking for Banned driver car insurance the first thing to remember is not to lie if you lie and get cheap insurance all the insurance company will do is invalidate your insurance for not disclosing the details so do not fall into the trap of this mistake.  The police and dvla share information and it wouldn't be difficult for them to get out of paying for the claim. Additonally added to this you could then be convicted of driving without insurance to add to you worries.

So be totally honest when getting your quote.

Firstly get a quote from your past insurance company they have details of your history and they are a good place to get a benchmark quote.

Next shop around and try to beat your benchmark quote checking the details of each policy and different benefits they offer.

Next we would advise that you speak personally to local brokers who can listen to your individual case and do the best at reducing the cost of your insurance premium.  It is obvious that having a drink driving conviction does not necessarily make a driver more likely to make a claim.  Some companies will give you a ridiculous quote and some companies will be more fair in their quote and appraisal so really do make the time to shop around for the best quote.

What you need when you get a quote.

An insurance provider will ask you for your contact details and will want to know how long you were banned for, the exact dates of your conviction and the date that you got your licence back. In addition they will want to know if you still have any points on your licence and the conviction codes.

The codes include DR10, DR20,UT50,IN10, LC20,LC30, and DR30 these will be on the paper part of your licence and will be needed when attempting to take out Drink Drive Car Insurance.

Remember to shop around! It can be expensive but you might get lucky too.

Some companies will only make a slight increase yet some companies will triple your quote so make the time to get other quotes.  Another technique may be to get your partner to insure the car and add you as a name driver.  After a period of time between3-5 years you will not have to disclose your ban to insurance companies but remember to never lie and answer all questions 100% honestly.

It is worth remembering that people who get convicted of offences of being excess of the limit, 35mg breath or 85mg blood can get drink driving insurance and you will need the reading that you got from the police. This will be on your paperwork and if you can find it you will need to contact the police station where you got arrested.

If you have recently taken part in a drink drive rehabilitation course. You will know how alcohol impacts your behaviours, reactions and skills when driving. Having already spent £400.00 o similar amount on your course you will already know the impact of your choices and the pain of the ban. 

Now that you are more aware of the adverse effects of drinking it is worth remembering that if you get convicted again there is a chance of going to prison.  Additionally you will find it very difficult to get insurance if you are conflicted as a repeat offender.

So take the positive learning decide to never drink and drive ever if you feel you would be tempted.  Plan your evenings how are you going to get home if you decided to have a drink and never be tempted again. The consequences are just not worth it.  Having learnt the small amount that you could have to be over the limit it is not worth the risk now thinking you will be all right.

Think of the consequences of it not being alright, imprisonment, hurting someone or worse and having to live with the guilt and personally finding it extremely hard to get car insurance.

Drink Driving offences are quite complicated and complex if you are curious what the DR10 and DR30 conviction codes mean.  This is quite often as a result of not supplying a sample of blood.  These could because of a phobia of needles.  If this happened to you will most probably have no points being deducted but perhaps you received a longer length of driving ban.

The conviction code that you received which will have an impact on your quote is dependent on several factors including, level of alcohol reading, what happened consequently, behaviours post your breath test, if an accident occurred, any previous convictions, whether any damage was caused and if anyone was hurt or injured as a result of the accident.

Although some insurance companies do not insure drink drivers and it can be a chore seeking quotes make the time if the cost is important to you to get a variety of quotes.

Many insurance companies and providers will provide cover if you have a DR10 or a DR30 Conviction on you licence.

These days most people have a SP30 speeding code on their licence,( speeding points) or a SP50  due to the draconian powers setting up of speed cameras where they know people will make the mistake of driving to fast, may people just think that this is  taxation by the government.

You will need to declare these codes if you have them too on your licence.

Other conviction codes include driving without insurance (IN10) driving without a licence (LC10).  Also driving without due care and attention most often is a (CD10) code. It can be tricky to remember these exact codes and readings of your conviction so have them ready before you pick up the phone to get a quote for drink driver car insurance.
