What is California SR22 Insurance?
SR22 insurance in California is a financial responsibility certificate attached to a vehicle owner’s primary insurance policy and filed with the California State DMV. It’s high-risk auto liability insurance that the state requires you to carry to reinstate your driver’s license. The state will determine how long an individual must carry California SR22 insurance, but typically, it’s for one to three years. During this time, your insurance provider monitors the policy. If you miss a payment or stop paying your premiums, your insurance provider will alert the DMV by filing an SR26 form. The DMV will immediately suspend your license upon the SR26 notification.
Another type of California SR22 insurance is available for non-vehicle owners. California non-owner SR22 insurance is a policy for one driver, not a vehicle. It is for people who do not own a car but want to reinstate their driver’s license. Non-owner insurance covers the policyholder if they occasionally drive another person’s vehicle. The non-owner certificate is liability insurance secondary to a vehicle owner’s primary insurance coverage. It becomes effective if the policyholder is at fault in an accident. It covers claims if they exceed the vehicle owner’s primary insurance coverage. Non-owner policies do not apply to rental, commercial, or household vehicles.
