My insurance doesn't increase until/if I go over 6 points. Mind you, I can't get away with not telling them if I get any points added 'cos I have public hire. They take a photocopy at each and every renewal.
The effect on your premium will be minimum for the first 3 points, might be as low as £10.00, or as high as £40.00. However you should declare the points at your renewal, as if you have a claim, it could cause problems, as more and more insurers ask to see your licence before dealing with a claim (I know we do!) but for a policy to be voided, the additional premium required for undisclosed points/convictions must be twice the amount of the original cost of the policy.
This can all be avoided by keeping a photocopy or two of your licence, and if requested by your insurer, you can send this, and they will be none the wiser!
