If you have a driving conviction, it can be harder to find car insurance and some companies may not cover you at all.
Due to the specialist nature of finding the right insurance for convicted drivers, we assess every case individually. Our expert advisers will then work with the insurers on your behalf to find the best rates for your circumstances.
We deal with a range of insurers including Axa, who provide a dedicated scheme only available through a broker such as Lifesure. If this is your first conviction from those listed in the box below and you are over 30 years old, we can help. Call us today for your personalised quote.
“It was a pleasure to talk to someone with knowledge and intelligence instead of tapping details endlessly into frustrating cyber-space. I would happily recommend Lifesure for their realistic approach to their clients and of course fair price.”

“After my driving conviction, I expected my insurance to be quite high. But when I got a quote from these I was amazed how cheap it was. Then to speak to Oliver on the phone and to find out it was even cheaper. I was blown away.”

How do I prove my No Claim Discount (NCD)?
You will need to supply us with the latest renewal notice from your current insurer or a letter on their headed paper confirming the number of years discount you have. The letter will also need to include your name, the policy number and policy expiry date.
Without the proof from your previous insurer, it is likely that the premium quoted will increase.
Can I add a temporary driver to my policy?
Generally yes, but it is possible that the addition will incur an increase in your premium. Please telephone us with the details of the person including their full name, date of birth, occupation, type of driving licence held and information about any convictions or claims made.
Do I need to tell you if any of my details have changed?
Yes, we need to be informed about any change to your personal details or your circumstances. Please call us on 01480 504348.
I’ve been convicted of a minor speeding offence; do I need to let you know?
Any change, however minor it may seem, should be reported to us. Not all offences will result in an increase of premium, but they need to be recorded on your file.
We would also need to be informed if you were involved in an accident whilst driving another vehicle.
I’m going on holiday in Europe; do I need to let you know?
Providing that the trip does not exceed the period limit in your policy, and is within the territorial limits of your policy, we do not need to be made aware of the journey. Our car insurance policies automatically include a number of days for foreign travel; please consult your policy document for the details.
If however, your trip is of a longer duration or you are going to exceed the total number of days over more than one trip, then please call us to extend your cover.
Do I need to inform you about modifications to my car that I am considering?
If the modifications will increase the performance of your vehicle, then yes we need to be informed. Common modifications that we need to be aware of (but not limited to) include engine enhancements, changes to the exhaust system.
We also need to made aware of cosmetic changes to your vehicle including upgrading the spoilers, skirts and alloys, and also if you have lowered the suspension.
I have business use on my policy; does it cover other drivers?
Your certificate of insurance will specify who can drive your car for business use; this is normally just the policyholder, but may include a spouse, partner or other named driver if you requested business cover for them. If you are unsure, please telephone us.
Can I drive other cars with my insurance?
Your Certificate of Insurance will state if you can drive other cars that do not belong to you. However you should be aware that the protection provided is the minimum cover as required under the Road Traffic Act (third party only).
This cover does not normally extend to driving vans, motorcycles or HGV’s.
