I do highly recommend confused.com, I'm 28 with two DR10's and 3yrs NCB... on MY02 WRX everywhere else wanted around £4-5k to insure me, but thanks to confused.com I found somewhere that insured me for £2k... happy days!

Confused.com find the most random insurers that do the most unbelieveably low quotes...

£87, lol thats less than a night out boozing for a whole yrs insurance, lol!

DR10 is drink driving... I got 2 of those, but insurance companies only want details of offences within the last 5 yrs so luckily for me I only need tell em about one of those DR10's

Hi Alex,

Just a quick note to get you to check your proposal form/declaration of Insurance or the terms of the policy.

Pay particular attention to the 'duty of disclosure of material facts/information'.

Under the rehabilitation of offenders act you would not have to disclose the DR10's after they were 11 years old (not 5 years old), so hopefully your underwriter has a separate criteria relating to this.

Anyway.. it's worth checking as it's better to be safe than sorry

Kind regards

Tony

i knew that the conviction stayed on your licence for 11yrs, but always thought that it was only upto 5yrs that it affected insurance quotes... this article backs my thoughts up and hopefully means i'm still in the clear come july... will have to quizz my insurer over it tho either way - just to be safe!

Exclamation

I'm not sure if confused.com is like insurance supermarket but its the same type of price comparison site. I used the supermarket one last year when mine was up for renewall and got quotes £300 cheaper than tesco. I could have payed online but i called one of them to ask a question and they told me they couldn't insure imports even though i had entered all the car details on the site. I then started calling all of them and each one wouldn't insure me for different reasons.
I no longer trust these quotes, has anyone else experianced this?

Matt
