You can purchase Broad Form vehicle insurance in several states to file an SR22 certificate for license reinstatement. Broad Form insurance covers a single policyholder rather than insuring a particular vehicle. People usually purchase this kind of policy as non-owner SR22 insurance without a car. Your state of residence and an insurance company’s underwriting determine whether you can buy this type of insurance as a non-owner or auto owner’s policy.
Broad Form vehicle insurance has strict limitations
When you need SR22 insurance, a Broad Form policy can be tempting because of its low cost. But you need to know some facts to avoid the possibility of severe financial repercussions.
- Broad Form insurance covers ONLY you when driving a car you own or one you borrow with the owner’s permission.
- It does not provide coverage for anyone else to drive your vehicle. You cannot let anyone else drive your car for any reason.
- Coverage does not apply if you drive a motor home or motorcycle or when driving for business purposes.
- It does not cover damage to any vehicles you own or borrow to drive or company cars you operate.
- This type of policy provides liability-only coverage. It does not include comprehensive, collision, or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
What’s the best kind of SR22 policy if I own a car?
To avoid a rate increase on your current auto policy, you can purchase Broad Form SR22 insurance as a non-owner policy. This keeps the SR22 separate from your present auto insurance. If your insurance company can’t add an SR22 to your current auto policy, a Broad Form or regular non-owner SR22 policy may be a suitable alternative.
