Drink Driver Car Insurance

If you have a drink driving conviction we can help you find a new policy and ensure you still get a good deal. Whether you have been convicted of a DR10, DR20, or DR30, or any other drink driving conviction, we will provide you with the very best rate available.

Any drink driving conviction can be covered and we will use our years of experience to tailor your policy to reduce your costs.

Finding a new car insurance policy can be tricky because you will be judged as a higher risk by the mainstream insurance providers. In turn you will be expected to pay a higher premium, in addition to a more substantial excess.

At City Insurance we have partnerships in place with specialist providers, with the aim of supporting drivers struggling to find insurance. Whatever your driving history, or conviction, getting a no-obligation quote is quick and easy.
