KATIE Price has revealed the huge sum she’s been quoted for car insurance after being banned from the road six times. Former glamour model Katie, 46, was handed a two-year driving ban after crashing her BMW in West Sussex in September 2021. She also received a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and uninsured.
During that court appearance, the prosecutor revealed that Katie had already served five previous driving bans. In March last year, she was fined £880 after being caught driving a Range Rover on the A14 bypass in Kettering, Northamptonshire, without valid insurance or a driving license.
Katie has now admitted that her extensive driving record has left insurers unwilling to take a chance on her, though she remains eligible to rent cars. Speaking on Rob Moore’s Disruptors podcast, Katie said, “No insurance company will insure me, they want £150,000 down, and £8,000 a month.”.
Despite this setback, Katie has managed to get back on the road with the help of a car rental service, which provided her with a luxury Jeep. Describing her experience with the rental company, Katie explained, “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?'".
