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 certificate your insurer files with your state's DMV proving you carry liability coverage. Required after DUI, multiple violations, or driving uninsured — filing typically adds $25–$50 to your policy fee.
Non-Owner SR-22Non-owner SR-22 policies satisfy state filing requirements without insuring a specific vehicle. Used by suspended drivers who don't own a car but need coverage to reinstate their license.
Liability InsuranceLiability coverage pays for damage and injuries you cause to others in an accident. Every state sets minimum liability limits — Wisconsin requires 25/50/10, meaning $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, $10,000 property damage.
Uninsured Motorist CoverageUninsured motorist coverage protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient limits. Required in 22 states and recommended in high-uninsured-driver-rate regions.
Non-Standard Auto InsuranceNon-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers — those with suspensions, DUIs, lapses, or multiple violations. Rates run 50–150% higher than standard market but provide required coverage when standard carriers decline.Recent Articles

Do I need insurance if my license is suspended?
Most states require you to carry liability insurance or file an SR-22 as a condition of reinstatement, even while suspended. A non-owner policy satisfies this requirement if you don't own a vehicle. Driving without insurance during suspension extends the suspension period in 38 states.
How long does SR-22 filing last?
SR-22 filing periods range from 1 to 5 years depending on your state and violation. DUI convictions typically require 3 years in most states. The clock starts from your conviction or reinstatement date, and any lapse in coverage restarts the period.
Can I get insurance with a suspended license?
Yes. Many carriers issue non-owner policies to suspended drivers who need coverage to satisfy reinstatement requirements. You cannot legally drive during the suspension, but maintaining the policy keeps your SR-22 active and prevents filing gaps that extend your suspension.
What happens if I let my SR-22 policy lapse?
Your insurer notifies the DMV within 24 hours of cancellation or lapse. Most states immediately re-suspend your license and restart the SR-22 filing period from zero. Reinstatement requires paying a new filing fee, reinstatement fee, and proving continuous coverage going forward.
