Many insurance companies will not offer a new policy to someone who has had a DUI in the past 3-5 years. This means that you will only have a couple of insurance companies to choose from, and their prices are probably going to be quite high. Since prices vary based on your other personal details, there’s not a set amount or percentage your policy will go up by because you have a DUI. You will need to call an insurance broker to get a quote.
The good news is that Cheep Insurance works with almost all of the insurance companies in Nova Scotia, so we can insure you no matter what your driving history looks like. Depending on how recently you received your DUI, or if you’ve also had other convictions or accidents, you may only be eligible for a policy through the Facility Association. The Facility Association offers high-risk car insurance for drivers with any combination of convictions, accidents, or license suspensions on their record, which make them ineligible for other insurance policies. The other good news is that Cheep Insurance has some of the most flexible payment plans, and can offer a monthly payment plan even if you’ve had previous cancellations.
