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 certificate of financial responsibility filed by your insurer with the state, not a separate policy. Most states require it for 3 years after a DUI or serious violation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?

Many states require you to maintain continuous insurance even during suspension to avoid additional penalties or extended suspension periods. Some states mandate SR-22 filing before reinstating your license, which requires an active policy.

How long does SR-22 filing last?

Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years from your conviction or reinstatement date. The clock resets if your policy lapses, and your insurer must notify the state within 24 hours of cancellation.

What happens if my policy lapses during SR-22?

Your insurer notifies the state immediately, triggering a new suspension in most cases. You'll need to refile SR-22 with a new policy and restart the entire filing period, adding months or years to your requirement.

Can I get a hardship license while suspended?

37 states offer hardship or restricted licenses allowing limited driving to work, school, or medical appointments during suspension. Requirements vary: some states mandate 30–90 day waiting periods and proof of SR-22 filing before approval.
