Coverage Options
Understanding your coverage options helps you build a policy that protects what matters — without paying for what you don't need.
SR-22 InsuranceAn SR-22 is not insurance — it's a certificate filed by your insurer proving you carry state-minimum liability coverage. 46 states require SR-22 filings for DUI convictions, with filing periods typically lasting 3 years.
Non-Owner SR-22Non-owner SR-22 policies provide liability coverage without requiring vehicle ownership, satisfying reinstatement requirements in states where you must maintain insurance during suspension. Premiums average 40-60% less than standard SR-22 policies with a vehicle.
Liability InsuranceState-minimum liability coverage satisfies most reinstatement requirements and SR-22 filings. Minimum required limits range from 25/50/25 in California to 50/100/25 in Maine.
Non-Standard Auto InsuranceNon-standard carriers specialize in insuring drivers with suspensions, DUIs, or multiple violations who cannot obtain coverage from standard insurers. These policies typically cost 2-3x standard rates but provide required SR-22 filing capability.
Uninsured Motorist CoverageRequired in 20 states and recommended for high-risk drivers who may encounter uninsured motorists. Minimum UM limits must match your liability limits in states where it's mandatory.Recent Articles

Get Back on the RoadFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?
Requirements vary by state and suspension reason. 32 states require continuous insurance coverage during suspension to avoid extending the suspension period. Non-owner SR-22 policies satisfy this requirement without owning a vehicle.
What is an SR-22 and how long do I need it?
An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance company files with the state proving you carry minimum liability coverage. Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years following DUI convictions, though California requires it for only 3 years while Florida requires 3 years from reinstatement.
Which states don't require SR-22 filings?
Delaware, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania don't use SR-22 forms. These states use alternative certificates like FR-44 in Virginia or SR-22A in some jurisdictions.
Can I get a hardship license during suspension?
37 states offer hardship, occupational, or restricted licenses allowing limited driving during suspension periods. Eligibility requirements, allowed driving purposes, and mandatory SR-22 filing vary by state — check your state's reinstatement page for specific rules.
