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 InsuranceSR-22 is a state-mandated proof of insurance filing required after DUI, reckless driving, or driving without insurance. Most states require it for 3 years, filed by your insurer directly with the DMV.
Non-Owner SR-22Non-owner policies provide liability coverage without a registered vehicle, satisfying SR-22 reinstatement requirements for suspended drivers who don't own a car. Premiums typically range $300–$600 per year.
Liability InsuranceLiability coverage pays for damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. State minimums range from 25/50/25 in many states to 100/300/50 in others.
Uninsured Motorist CoverageUninsured motorist coverage protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient limits. Required in 20 states, optional in others.
Non-Standard Auto InsuranceNon-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers, including those with suspensions, DUIs, or major violations. Premiums run 2–3x standard rates but provide necessary coverage for reinstatement.Recent Articles

Do I need insurance while my license is suspended?
You don't need insurance to keep a suspended license valid, but most states require proof of continuous insurance to reinstate it. If you let coverage lapse during suspension, your reinstatement timeline often resets. Non-owner policies satisfy this requirement without needing a registered vehicle.
What is an SR-22 and who needs one?
An SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with the state DMV proving you carry minimum liability coverage. Required after DUI, reckless driving, multiple at-fault accidents, or driving without insurance. Filing periods range from 1 to 5 years depending on violation and state.
Can I get a hardship license while suspended?
Most states allow restricted or hardship licenses for limited driving to work, school, or medical appointments during suspension. You must maintain SR-22 insurance and meet state-specific eligibility criteria. Eligibility typically requires serving a portion of your suspension first.
What happens if I miss an SR-22 insurance payment?
Your insurer notifies the DMV within 24 hours of a lapse, triggering immediate license re-suspension in most states. You must file a new SR-22, pay reinstatement fees again, and restart your filing period. A single lapse can add 6–12 months to your total timeline.
