It will be interesting to see what happens regarding disclosure after the sale. It could get expensive - my last renewal was £270 with Direct Line, the next 'cheapest' was £900 through a broker.Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:19:46 GMTGoldeneyehttps://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost36450.aspx<div data-id="36445" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1793135581789"><a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="36445" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">+</span></a><a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="36445" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">x</span></a><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[quote]</span><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"><a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="36445" title=" "></a></div><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[b]</span>Goldeneye - 26 Oct 26 7:27 PM<span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[/b]</span></div><div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-36445"><div class="if-quote-message-margin">I know this will be old news to some as it happened a few months ago, but sadly Direct Line Group (ie. the owner of all the insurance companies that don't ask about convictions) is in the process of being sold to Aviva.

I have had insurance with them for a few years now. Prices are reasonable too.<br/><br/>I did a car renewal quote with Aviva a few months ago when my current policy was up and they didn't ask about non motoring convictions. I didn't take the policy up as it was too expensive. I have also had insurance with Admiral in the past as well, if I remember correctly they ask about convictions but it is not a bar to getting insurance.<br/><br/><br/>Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:19:46 GMTRichie
