What Is DUI Insurance?
“DUI Insurance” isn’t a special insurance policy. Instead, it refers to auto insurance for drivers who have been convicted of:
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
- Wet Reckless (in some cases)
- Serious moving violations
After a DUI, many insurance companies will either:
- Increase your premium
- Refuse to renew your policy
- Cancel your coverage (where permitted by law and policy)
Fortunately, many insurers specialize in helping higher-risk drivers get back on the road.
What Is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is not insurance.
It’s a certificate your insurance company files with the California DMV proving you carry the state’s required minimum liability insurance.
If the DMV requires an SR-22, your insurer files it electronically.
At Starwest Insurance Services, SR-22 filings are only $15.
How Long Do You Need an SR-22 in California?
In many DUI cases, California requires drivers to maintain an SR-22 for three years, although requirements vary depending on your specific court order and DMV requirements.
If your policy cancels before the required filing period ends, your insurance company notifies the DMV, which could lead to another license suspension.
Always verify your specific SR-22 requirement with the California DMV or your attorney.
Can I Get Insurance With a DUI?
Absolutely.
Even if:
- You’ve had multiple tickets
- You’ve had accidents
- Your previous company canceled you
- You need an SR-22 immediately
- You haven’t had insurance for months
- Your license has been suspended
We work with multiple insurance companies that specialize in helping high-risk drivers.
Can I Get DUI Insurance With No Down Payment?
Many insurance companies offer flexible payment plans, and qualified applicants may be eligible for low or no down payment options.
Approval depends on factors such as:
- Driving history
- Vehicle
- Coverage selected
- Insurance company guidelines
- Credit or payment eligibility where permitted by law
We’ll help you compare available options to find one that fits your budget.
How Much Does DUI Insurance Cost?
Every driver is different.
Your premium depends on factors including:
- Age
- ZIP code
- Driving history
- Number of violations
- Type of vehicle
- Coverage limits
- Prior insurance history
- Annual mileage
The best way to lower your premium is to compare quotes from multiple insurance companies.
As an independent agency, we do the shopping for you.
