Katie Price has revealed the huge amount she must pay up front for car insurance after six driving bans left her uninsured.
Price was banned from driving for two years after she crashed her BMW on the B2135 in West Sussex on September 28, 2021, and also received a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
During that court appearance, the prosecutor said Price, 46, had five previous driving bans.
The former glamor model was also fined £880 last March for driving a Range Rover on the A14 bypass in Kettering, Northamptonshire, without insurance or a valid driving licence.
Price has since revealed that her checkered driving record has made insurance companies reluctant to take a chance on her, but she admits she is still eligible to rent a car.
“No insurance company will insure me, they want £150,000 down and £8,000 a month,” he told Rob Moore’s Disruptors podcast.

He was given 28 days to pay the full amount of £1,852 imposed in relation to offenses committed on the A14 at Kettering on August 2 last year.
Finding Price guilty and imposing the fine, presiding judge Neil Sheppard said: “On the evidence we have been shown, the case is proven against Miss Price.”
Magistrates were told Price has numerous previous convictions for motoring offences, including driving while disqualified in 2019 and 2021.
He was banned from driving for two years after he crashed his BMW on September 28, 2021, and was also given a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving.
During that court appearance, the prosecutor said Price had five previous driving bans.
Following the latest offence, he was given eight penalty points on his licence, which the court was told was “expired” after a “medical stop” was imposed on him in April last year.
The court was told Price was caught on CCTV in the forecourt of an M&S petrol station on the morning of August 2, where police officers standing near the entrance saw her vehicle stop at one of the pumps.
Opening the facts of the case against Price, prosecutor Cheryl Burridge said: ‘The officers were in a mobile patrol car and stopped at the service station.

The former glamor model was also fined £880 last March for driving a Range Rover on the A14 bypass in Kettering, Northamptonshire, without insurance or a valid driving licence.

“No insurance company will insure me, they want £150,000 down and £8,000 a month,” he told Rob Moore’s Disruptors podcast.
‘They saw a vehicle entering the service station next to the fuel pump. She (Price) exited the vehicle with an unknown man and a child.
As Price and the man walked from the vehicle towards the toilets past the officers, the court heard, she was recognized and “believed to be disqualified from driving”.
‘Although Price was not subject to a driving ban, the court heard she did not have a valid license due to the ‘stop’ imposed on her, after a renewal application was withdrawn.
It was also learned that Price left the services in the Range Rover, with the unknown man at the wheel, and was not arrested because police had not seen her driving the vehicle.
After Price left the services, the court heard, officers reviewed footage showing her getting out of the driver’s seat and instigated criminal proceedings.
In a statement read to the court by the prosecutor, PC Harrison Beverley said: “During this statement I will be referring to a woman known as Katie Price.”
‘I was outside the front of the shops, speaking to the responding police. I didn’t see her (Price) driving.
“I recognized her as a media personality.”
The officer added that he had reviewed CCTV footage at the petrol station and had seen a woman “believed to be Price” get out of the driver’s side of the Range Rover.
A marker was then placed on the vehicle after computer checks revealed Price had an expired license and was not covered by valid insurance.
Magistrates were told that the previous suspended sentence imposed on Price had no effect on the current proceedings, and that he was given three penalty points for speeding in November 2023.
The reality TV star has already committed 11 driving offenses in the last fifteen years.
