01

First check whether non-owner coverage fits the situation

Tell the producer whether you own a vehicle or regularly use a household or employer vehicle. Those facts can affect whether non-owner coverage fits. Confirm that the insurer can make the required filing in your state.

02

SR-22 is a filing, not the insurance policy itself

The insurer sends the state proof of financial responsibility. The policy sets out the coverage, limits and exclusions. Filing an SR-22 does not expand that coverage. Ask separately about any protection you need when driving a borrowed vehicle.

03

State rules decide the filing period and process

The reason for the filing, required limits, duration and consequences of a lapse depend on the controlling state process. Verify them with the relevant state source.

04

Cost depends on the policy and the reason for the filing

Rating factors, driving history, location, limits and insurer rules can affect price. This page does not provide a quote or promise a rate.
