Car and Van Insurance with a CU30

What’s a CU30 motor conviction?

A CU30 endorsement means ‘using a vehicle with defective tyre(s)’. Carrying three penalty points this motor conviction stays on your licence for four years. It’s part of the Construction and Use offences as categorised by the DVLA, which also includes the CU10, CU20, CU40, CU50 and CU80. All convictions within this class carry the same number of penalty points.

Make sure you tell your insurer about the CU30 when obtaining quotes for your car or van insurance. Occasionally drivers opt not to tell their insurer, which is a big mistakes since they have methods of finding out about non disclosed claims and convictions. One method is the Claims and Underwriting Exchange (CUE) that includes an exhaustive list of all claims and convictions that UK drivers are known to have.

If a CU30 is not disclosed the insurer has a few options. They may void the policy and reject any claims or charge an expensive additional premium to keep the policy running. Save yourself the cost and hassle by not taking the risk.

Low cost CU30 car and van insurance

Finding affordable convicted driver car and van insurance with a CU30 can be very stressful and is certainly not easy. It’s true that many insurers and comparison sites tend to avoid insuring drivers with motor convictions. Those that do are generally not competitive at all. This is because insurers want to avoid paying out claims and tend to think that motor convictions are one of the strongest indicators that a driver poses an increased risk and is more likely to claim in the future…and cost them money!

This is a tad bit stereotypical and doesn’t take into account how a driver can learn from their mistakes and be LESS likely to commit the same offence in the future. Here at convictedcarinsurance.co.uk we believe in a fair and open minded pricing strategy, and more importantly, that drivers need to be treated as individuals and ackowledged that they can learn from their mistakes if they’ve previously had convictions like a CU30.
