If you were only arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance and were never convicted nor had your driver's license suspended as a result, then from what you have written, you most likely do not have to disclose the arrest on your application for auto insurance.
However, you have not advised me as to what the actual question is in the insurance application. The question may ask if you were ever arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
