A TV personality, Katie Price, has disclosed the staggering upfront cost she faces for car insurance after racking up six driving bans, leaving her nearly uninsurable.
Appearing on Rob Moore’s Disruptors podcast, she revealed that “no insurance company will insure me; they want £150,000 down and £8,000 a month.”
The author of Reborn has shared that her driving history has made insurance companies unwilling to insure her, but she still qualifies for car rental.
Price added, “I went to Enterprise and said, ‘I want the biggest Jeep, the nicest car that you’ve got. They’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ve got one; we’ve got a Nissan Jeep.’ ‘I said, can I get it in black, and is it automatic?’ ‘They went, yeah yeah, we’ll have a look. Have you got your driving license?’”
After giving it to them, the Cherish singer was surprised when they offered her the car.
“I went, what, I can have the Nissan? They went, yeah! They’re looking at me like they’ve never seen anyone so happy in their life,” she remembered.
For the unversed, the 46-year-old singer was banned from driving for two years after crashing her BMW on the B2135 in West Sussex on September 28, 2021.
She was also given a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
At the court, the prosecutor stated that the Hurricane crooner had been banned from driving five times before.
The Comeback Girl writer was also fined £880 in March 2024 for driving a Range Rover on the A14 bypass in Kettering, Northamptonshire, without insurance or a valid driver’s license.
It is pertinent to mention that Katie Price is left with 28 days to pay £1,852 for the offences she committed on the A14 at Kettering on August 2, 2024.
