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 your insurer files with the state proving you carry liability coverage. Most DUI and suspension cases require SR-22 filing for 1 to 5 years depending on the violation and state.
Non-Owner SR-22If you don't own a vehicle but need to satisfy SR-22 requirements, a non-owner policy provides liability coverage when you drive borrowed or rental cars. This is the most common path to reinstatement without owning a car.
Liability InsuranceLiability insurance pays for damage you cause to others—bodily injury and property damage. Every state except New Hampshire mandates minimum liability limits, and reinstatement after suspension typically requires proof you carry at least these minimums.
Uninsured Motorist CoverageUninsured motorist coverage protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance. Roughly 13% of U.S. drivers are uninsured, and some states require this coverage as part of reinstatement after a lapse-related suspension.
Non-Standard Auto InsuranceNon-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers—those with suspensions, DUIs, multiple violations, or gaps in coverage. Rates run higher than standard policies, but these carriers are often the only option immediately after reinstatement.Recent Articles

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?
Most states require you to maintain insurance even during suspension, especially if the suspension was for a lapse in coverage, DUI, or excessive points. Letting your policy lapse during suspension can extend the suspension period and delay reinstatement.
What is an SR-22 and who needs one?
An SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with the DMV proving you carry state-minimum liability coverage. You need one after most DUI convictions, at-fault accidents without insurance, repeat violations, or driving without a license. Filing periods range from 1 to 5 years depending on the state and violation.
Can I get insurance without owning a car?
Yes. A non-owner policy provides liability coverage when you drive cars you don't own—borrowed, rented, or shared vehicles. If you need SR-22 filing but don't own a car, a non-owner SR-22 policy satisfies state reinstatement requirements.
How long do I have to carry SR-22 insurance?
Most states require SR-22 filing for 3 years after a DUI or major violation. Some states require only 1 year; others require up to 5 years for repeat offenses. The clock starts on the filing date, not the conviction date, so delays in buying insurance extend the total period.
What happens if I let my SR-22 policy lapse?
Your insurer notifies the DMV immediately. Your license suspension is reinstated, and the SR-22 filing clock resets in most states—you start the required period over from the date you file again. A single missed payment can add years to your requirement.
Can I get a hardship license while suspended?
Many states issue restricted or hardship licenses allowing limited driving—usually to work, school, medical appointments, or court-ordered programs. Requirements vary by state, but most require proof of insurance and SR-22 filing before issuing the restricted license.
