We work a little differently
Motorists with drink driving convictions often struggle to get a fair insurance quote. We understand that some drivers will learn their lesson and will, in fact, be less likely to risk their licence by driving dangerously when they can get back on the road. Combine this with the fact that our team are trained to take your personal information and circumstances into account rather than using a one-size-fits-all rate and we know we can help you get reliable and affordable drink drivers insurance in spite of your conviction.

Company Car NCB
Company Car No Claims Bonus
Many insurers are unwilling to accept bonuses earned in company cars on private car policies, which can leave drivers unfairly paying over the odds for insurance, despite their many years of claim-free driving.
At Adrian Flux, we work with insurance companies that accept company car no claims bonus to help you get a fair deal on your private car insurance.
Once we receive confirmation from your employer or ex-employer of how many years company car insurance no claims bonus you earned, we can apply an equivalent discount to the insurance quote for your own car.
Excess Protect
Excess Protect
Even though having the right insurance can save you money when you need to claim, your policy excess could still run into hundreds of pounds.
Our excess protect policies will pay your excess for you, up to an annual limit, if you need to make a claim on your policy – saving you money.
The amount of excess you have to pay depends on your policy and can be found on your policy documents. If you opted for a voluntary excess this is an extra amount on top of your compulsory excess, which can bring your premiums down, but is payable on top of your compulsory excess when you make a claim.
We offer excess protect cover at different levels to suit your policy. Speak to a member of our team to find out more and to add it to your policy.

FAQs
How long does DR10 affect insurance?
In general, you will need to declare DR10 to insurers for a minimum of five years after you received the conviction. At this point, it’s “spent” according to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. However, as DR10s stay on your licence for 11 years, you might still be penalised by insurers for the remainder of this time. This is where a specialist insurance broker like Adrian Flux can help.
Does drink driving invalidate insurance?
This will depend on your insurance policy, but for the most part, a drink driving conviction won’t automatically invalidate your cover. However, if you’re involved in an accident at the time of drinking and driving, this might affect your ability to make a claim on your insurance. It’s always best to check your insurance policy to make sure.
It should be noted that in any case, changes in circumstances like this will need to be declared to your insurance provider.
How long do I have to declare drink driving to insurance?
You only need to declare a drink driving conviction for five years until it’s spent – find out more in our blog on how long you need to declare points for insurance.
How much does car insurance go up after a drink driving ban?
This depends on a number of factors, including the type of conviction you received, the number of points you received, and if you were involved in an accident as a result of drink driving. You can find out more about this in our blog on whether points on your licence affect insurance.
If you’re looking for cheap car insurance after a drink driving ban, the best thing to do is to compare a number of different quotes – including those from drink drive insurance specialists like us – to find the best price at the level of cover you need.
Does a drink driving conviction show up on a DBS check?
This depends on the sort of DBS check you get. A standard DBS check will only show unspent convictions, i.e. those that are under five years old. An enhanced check, on the other hand, will show all convictions, whether spent or unspent.
