Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance while my license is suspended?

It depends on your state and suspension reason. Most states require you to maintain continuous liability coverage or file an SR-22 during the suspension period to avoid extending the suspension length. Kansas, for example, adds 90 days to your suspension if you let coverage lapse.

What is an SR-22 and when is it required?

An SR-22 is a certificate your insurance carrier files with the DMV proving you carry at least state minimum liability coverage. It's required after DUI, reckless driving, at-fault accidents without insurance, or accumulating too many points. Filing periods typically last 3 years.

Can I get insurance without owning a car?

Yes. A non-owner liability policy covers you when driving borrowed or rental vehicles. If you need SR-22 filing but don't own a car, a non-owner SR-22 policy satisfies reinstatement requirements at a lower cost than standard policies.

How long does reinstatement take after I buy insurance?

SR-22 filing processes in 1-5 business days once your carrier submits it electronically. After filing, you must pay reinstatement fees and wait for DMV confirmation, which adds another 5-10 business days in most states.
