There are a number of insurance companies who specialise in finding drink driving DR10 insurance cover at competitive rates.

When it comes to your search for car insurance after a drink driving ban, it is very important to shop around. Compare both the price and the features of policies you are being offered. As a convicted drink driver you need to find companies who are looking for your business as often firms will price their insurance premiums to discourage those with a DR 10 conviction. You could take out a policy that would cost you hundreds or even thousands of pounds more than you need to spend.

Convicted driver insurance policies can vary in price depending on how you obtain your quote. If you obtain an insurance quote from an insurance broker or price comparison web site, the price you are quoted will usually be different from the price you are quoted if you obtained a quote from an insurance company directly. The system used by MoneyMaxim of providing quotations through a broker is therefore normally better for those with a drink driving conviction. It certainly pays to shop around and compare convicted driver insurance quotes.

The insurance comparison engine allows convicted drivers to obtain insurance quotes from multiple insurance companies who specialise in providing non-standard, high risk insurance policies for convicted drivers.

How to get Cheap Drink Driver Insurance

Many of the following tips apply to any driver, but the benefits of someone with a DR10 conviction getting a 10% discount on their drink driving car insurance is normally much greater than the amount a conviction free driver could get.

Whilst it is impossible to avoid higher insurance premiums following a drink driving conviction, using specialist car insurance brokers who can access convicted drivers insurance policies can help keep premiums to a minimum.

Other ways of reducing the expense include:

  • Completing a Drink Driving Rehabilitation Course. As well as helping to reduce any potential driving ban this course can reduce your premiums as repeat offending is considered less likely for those who have attended the course.

  • Investigate the savings for having a higher voluntary excess. You would normally be expected to be responsible for the first part of any claim and this is called the excess. Typically the more you offer to pay, by having a higher excess, the less your insurance premium is. If you feel that the excess level is unaffordable consider protecting yourself with an excess protection insurance policy as the cost of this is often lower than the savings you can make by having a higher excess.

  • Straight after you get your license back, keep your mileage down. This will reduce your costs at the most expensive time.

  • Only have named drivers as opposed to allowing any driver to get behind the wheel of your car.

  • Keep your car in a garage or secure area overnight.

  • See if increased security will reduce your premium. It might be worth fitting Thatcham accredited security systems to cut your costs. Do check though before you spend money to find the savings are worthwhile.

  • Add an experienced low risk driver to your insurance policy as this may reduce your premium.

  • Following a conviction, make sure you start driving with a modest car - you don't need the fact you are in a sports car to ramp up your premium as well.

Those who have been disqualified from driving are generally considered high risk by most insurance companies meaning you may be asked to pay both high premiums and agree to a large excess on your policy.
