SR22FAQ

Most insurance companies check your motor vehicle record once a year. Some, only once every three years or when you're applying for a new policy. Sometimes, accidents, tickets, and drunk-driving convictions can escape your insurer's attention. If your insurer DOES find out about a DUI conviction, you will see higher rates and possibly the task of seeking a new company due to them not renewing your insurance.

There are two ways insurance companies generally deal with customers convicted of DUI. First, your insurer may cancel you. In other cases, they will raise your premiums due to increasing your "point" count, almost to the point of "unaffordability."

In the current insurance marketplace, it is probably better to seek out a specialist for your insurance coverages, rather than remain with your current carrier. At sr22shop.com , we have had over 40years of experience in placing DUI coverage. We have helped thousands of drivers reinstate their licenses, get their SR22's in place, and shared our expertise and advice which in turn saved them thousands of dollars in needless attorney fees. In some cases, you may need an attorney to save your license, especially if facing a court trial or if this is your second offense. In other cases, if the DUI has already been to conviction, you may not need an attorney, and to seek one could be a waste of money since most questions can be answered by DMV or an insurance agent specializing in DUI coverages. We can answer most "POST-conviction" questions for you at NO CHARGE.

Do All Insurance Companies Find Out I have Had a Drunk Driving Citation?

Insurers can sometimes miss DUI convictions. It's possible that your insurance company will never find out about your conviction if they do not send for your motor vehicle report, and if you are not required to file an SR22 filing with them. Human error and computer error happen all the time. One way to keep your current policy (if your current preferred company does not find out about your DUI violation), is to buy minimum liability with one of our companies with an SR22 filing. This way DMV is satisfied because you have made your filing - and since your current company has not found out about your drunk driving offense - you are able to keep your current policy. This is especially helpful when you have full coverage, other family members/vehicles, higher liability limits, or coverage on a valuable vehicle, where the rates on a standard policy might be very high. We can gladly provide a free quote to you.

In most cases however, it is better just to let your current policy go, and get the full package with us. There is a very competitive market now for DUI drivers, and the rates are not as high as they used to be.

What is an "SR22 Filing"?

An SR22 Filing is a form issued by an insurance company which removes a suspension order placed by the DMV on your driving privilege. The filing provides a guarantee to the California Department of Motor Vehicles that an insurance company has issued at least minimum liability coverage for the person making that filing; AND - that the insurance company will notify the DMV should the insurance ever lapse for any reason.

Who Needs One?

People whose license is under suspension by the California Department of Motor vehicles need an SR22 Filing to reinstate their license. This includes, but is not limited to the following suspension reasons: drunk driving violations; more minor moving violations in one year than the law permits; suspensions from unpaid fines or parking violations; uninsured accidents; failure to comply with other DMV laws or regulations.

How do I get an SR22 Filing to reactive my drivers license?

You must purchase minimum liability coverage on the vehicle(s) you own. If you do not own a motor vehicle, you must purchase "non-owners" liability coverage. The price is based on the severity of your driving record (accidents and violations), where you live, and the number of years of driving experience. If you do not know what is on your driving record, purchase it from DMV (usual cost is $5.00 to $10.00 per record). Then you must purchase the proper kind of policy. Our goal is to find this coverage at the LOWEST COST TO YOU! That is why we are here.

How long must I maintain an SR22 Filing?

Under normal circumstances the SR22 Filing period is three years. However, with the advent of stricter enforcement of DMV laws, and lobbying against drunk drivers, the terms can be extended.

What process is involved in reinstating my license?

 

  1. First, you need to know what is on your driving record.

     

  2. Secondly, you will need to call the DMV at: 1-916-657-6677 to ask them what other DMV fees are needed to reactivate (usually a $55.00 reinstatement fee, and payment of all other outstanding parking/moving violation fines).

     

  3. With that information, we can help find you the LOWEST PRICE for insurance, so the next step is getting a quotation for the proper coverage.

How Long Does a DUI Stay on my Record?

The bad part is that the violation stays on your driving record for 10 years. It is rated for points by insurance companies for 3 years, so that is some relief, but most preferred carriers do not take drivers with DUI violations, so it may be a long wait until you get that kind of policy (such as Geico, AAA, 21st Century, Allstate, etc.)

Can You Get Me a Price and RUSH an SR22 filing for Me?
