    As far as I am aware the company you were insured with before you were banned have to quote you, granted it could be ridiculous money

    I;m not sure if this is the case though seen as you have been off the road 4 years even thought you were only banned 2 years.

    Call a few brokers. They're probably your best bet.

    ARB and XS Direct are two that should quote you. ARB wont be cheap and XS Direct will have a massive excess on the policy (€3000/€4000 most likely) but they are options to get you back on the road.

    Afaik if you wait until 5 years you will not have to declare your ban, and if you kept your licence current when your ban ended your endorsment will have gone by then too.

    Somebody close to me was disqualified from driving for two years, and apparently the insurance company doesnt need to know 3 years after you've been put off the road, so for him (for eg) he only had to pay 1 years insurance declaring he had been off the road.


    also, he did not have to go back to the insurance company he was with when he was disqualified.
