Convicted Driver Van Insurance

Around one-third of all UK drivers have at least one motoring endorsement on their licence, whether that's a three-point speeding offence or something more serious. For van drivers and those who rely on their vehicles for work, this has serious consequences and can also hit you hard in your pocket.

What is convicted driver van insurance?

At Park Insurance, we understand that having a speeding conviction or an accident claim is not always symptomatic of a bad driver. We use our influence as preferred brokers to some of the UK's largest insurance providers to find you an insurance policy that takes into account your past record, but doesn't penalise you harshly as a result of one-off mistakes.


It’s not always your fault

Vans are often the target for criminals, and vandalism, theft and damage claims can result in a loss of no-claims bonuses for van drivers. The proliferation of mobile cameras and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) software also means that it's even easier to make a mistake and get caught that one time you put a little too much 'pedal to the metal'.

How does a criminal record affect van insurance cover?

Criminal convictions, whether that’s three points for a speeding offence or a ban, will impact your insurance cover, generally by increasing the amount you pay on your premiums. Unfortunately, insurers regard anyone with convictions as a higher risk. However, eventually, these convictions will be removed from your licence and in time, your insurance premiums should come back down.


Who is this type of insurance for?

Convicted driver van insurance is specifically designed for van drivers with driving convictions, regardless of how those convictions were acquired. As most van drivers use their vehicles for commercial purposes, convicted van insurance policies will typically reflect this and cover drivers for commercial use, rather than just 'domestic and pleasure' use. If you need to drive your van for work but have points on your licence or have just finished a driving ban, this insurance is for you.

Who is classified as a convicted driver?

A convicted driver is someone who has received a motoring or criminal conviction that affects their legal ability to drive or their standing with insurers. Offences are wide-ranging, and can include:

  • Driving under the influence (alcohol or drugs) – 3–11Points, remains on your licence for 11 years
  • Speeding on public roads – 3–6 Points, remain on your licence for 4 years
  • Driving without insurance – 6–8 Points, remain on your licence for 4 years
  • Using a mobile phone while driving – 3–6 Points, remain on your licence for 4 years
  • Disqualified due to accumulation of 12 or more points — Disqualification, usually for 12 months

What type of insurance policies are available?

Convicted driver van insurance is designed for drivers who have convictions but need to insure their van, including those who use their vehicle for commercial reasons. With third-party only, third-party, fire and theft and, in some cases, fully comprehensive cover available, you receive the same type of cover as any other driver, regardless of your driving history.

Benefits of bespoke insurance cover

Van insurance for disqualified drivers and those who have other motoring offences on their record takes into account your personal circumstances, as well as insuring your vehicle for commercial use. While the premiums for this specialist insurance may be higher, it provides an opportunity to get back on the road and start rebuilding your credibility as a safe and responsible driver.
