They usually check drivers records at renewal time and sometimes periodically at random. You were supposed to report any accident within a few days. You violated the terms of your insurance contract. If you report it now they will probably wonder why you didn't report it sooner. They will also wonder what else you have been hiding. They might even deny your claim. Don't be surprised if your insurance gets canceled and you have difficulty finding another company to insure you. All states now share a common drivers data base. The DUI is on your record everywhere. Your new state and license won't help you. If you attempt to get coverage with another company and lie about the DUI they will also cancel your policy when they find out about it and will deny any claim you file. Just my opinion but you might as well report it to your insurance and hope they pay the $1,700. I don't think you have anything to lose.
