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 a state-mandated filing proving you carry minimum liability coverage, required after DUI, excessive points, or driving uninsured. Most states require it for 3 years from the violation date.
Non-Owner SR-22Non-owner policies provide liability coverage without requiring vehicle ownership, satisfying SR-22 reinstatement rules in most states. Monthly premiums typically range from $25–$40 for minimum coverage.
Liability InsuranceState minimum liability coverage pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others. Required limits vary by state, with many requiring at least $25,000/$50,000/$25,000 split-limit policies.
Hardship License CoverageA hardship or restricted license allows limited driving during suspension for work, school, or medical appointments. You must carry proof of insurance to qualify in all states that issue them.
Uninsured Motorist CoverageUM coverage protects you when hit by a driver without insurance, required in 20 states and recommended in all. Some states mandate UM limits equal to your liability limits.
Non-Standard Auto InsuranceNon-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers with suspensions, DUIs, or lapses. Premiums run 50–300% higher than standard rates but provide required coverage when standard carriers decline.Recent Articles

Do I need car insurance if my license is suspended?
Most states require you to maintain continuous insurance coverage even while suspended to avoid additional penalties or extended suspension periods. If you don't own a vehicle, a non-owner policy satisfies this requirement in all 50 states. Letting coverage lapse during suspension can add months to your reinstatement timeline and trigger SR-22 filing requirements.
What is an SR-22 and when do I need one?
An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance carrier files with your state DMV proving you carry at least minimum liability coverage. You need one after DUI/DWI convictions, excessive points, driving uninsured, or certain at-fault accidents in most states. The filing period typically lasts 3 years from your conviction or reinstatement date, depending on your state.
What is a hardship license and can I get insurance for it?
A hardship license allows limited driving to work, school, medical appointments, or court-ordered programs during your suspension period. You must carry proof of insurance to qualify in every state that issues them, and your policy must meet or exceed state minimum liability limits. Not all states offer hardship licenses; check your state's DMV rules.
How long does my SR-22 filing last?
Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years from the date of conviction or license reinstatement. Florida requires FR-44 filing for 3 years after DUI. If your policy lapses or cancels during the filing period, your insurer notifies the DMV and your license is re-suspended immediately in all states.
Will my insurance cover me if I drive on a suspended license?
No, driving on a suspended license voids coverage in most policies, meaning your insurer can deny claims for accidents that occur while you're suspended. You also face criminal charges, extended suspension, vehicle impoundment, and potential jail time in most states. Wait until your license is fully reinstated or obtain a valid hardship license before driving.
