Even with a driving conviction, it is still possible to get competitively priced car insurance. While some of the larger insurance companies look at convictions as a serious problem, others are more willing to investigate individual circumstances in order to accurately calculate a reasonably priced policy for you (check out the list below). Under the law, “spent” convictions cannot be taken into account when quoting for an insurance policy, but it is your duty to honestly disclose all convictions that are not "spent". By withholding information relating to existing convictions you risk invalidating future claims which could leave you seriously out of pocket!
