Katie Price fumes at 'discrimination' over £150k car insurance after crash, driving ban and fines

Katie Price has claimed she has faced "discrimination" after she was quoted £150,000 per year to insure her car.

The twice-bankrupt former glamour model, 46, was in 2021 after she admitted drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance. She had crashed her BMW and flipped her car while on the way to visit a friend near Horsham, and admitted to police at the scene that she had taken drugs.

At sentencing, the district judge had said in court that - who had been banned on five previous occasions prior to the crash - had “one of the worst driving records I have seen”.

She was due to get her licence back last year, but it was delayed after she was charged earlier this year with driving without insurance. - but has now revealed that she has been renting cars rather than buying because the insurance is too high.

Katie went on to say that because of her career choice, the insurance was much higher. "It’s discrimination because of who I am… people want to charge me £150,000 a year to insure a car." The mum-of-five is now choosing to rent instead as it's "so much cheaper" and they come insured.
