What To Know About High-Risk Auto Insurance Companies
Many standard insurance companies lower their risk of loss by setting higher premiums for drivers with substandard driving records and license suspensions. Experienced high-risk auto insurance companies can write more affordable SR22 and FR44 insurance policies for these drivers.
SR22 and Ignition Interlock
When you’re eligible to reinstate your license after a DUI conviction, you’ll likely need both SR22 insurance and an ignition interlock device. You’ll need to maintain SR22 insurance for 1-3 years or longer. Most states require installing an ignition interlock device if it is your second or subsequent DUI violation.
Do SR22 and ignition interlock always go hand in hand? No, not everyone who needs SR22 insurance will need to install an ignition interlock device (IID). People with
What is FR44?
What is FR44? Florida and Virginia have two separate certificates for license reinstatement. One, SR22, is for motor vehicle violations unrelated to alcohol or drugs. The other, FR44, is for DUI-related offenses. To reinstate your license after a DUI or DWI conviction, you need to file an FR44 certificate with the state.
What is FR44? In Florida and Virginia, you must attach a financial responsibility form to your auto insurance policy to reinstate your license after a DUI/DWI conviction. Florida and Virginia are the only states that require this form specifically for DUI/DWI offenses. On January 1, 2008, Virginia was the first state to introduce it, and Florida became the second state to adopt it.
What is FR44 insurance?
There’s a difference between SR22 and FR44 insurance in Florida and Virginia. Non-alcohol suspensions require an SR22 filing. However, for a DUI/DWI suspension, you’ll need to file an FR44 certificate. See Florida SR22 FR44 and Virginia SR22 FR44 Insurance for additional information.
The minimum liability coverage requirements for F44 insurance are much higher than for SR22 insurance, especially in Florida. The higher coverage significantly impacts your auto insurance rate if you own a car.
Minimum coverage requirements for FR44 insurance in Virginia are 60/120/40:
- $60,000 bodily injury per person
- $120,000 bodily injury per accident
- $40,000 property damage per accident
- $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident uninsured motorist bodily injury
- $20,000 uninsured motorist property damage
The minimum coverage requirements in Florida are much higher: 100/300/50.
Why do I need DUI insurance?
DUI insurance is high-risk insurance for people convicted of a serious driving offense – especially DUI/DWI. The state is interested in ensuring high-risk drivers are always insured when driving a vehicle, whether they own one or not. People usually have to carry this insurance without a lapse of coverage for three years. The certificate is also a monitoring device. If coverage lapses even one time, the insurance company notifies the state DMV by filing an FR-46 form. This filing cancels the existing certificate, resulting in immediate license suspension.
Frequently asked questions about what is FR44
“Is FR44 a stand-alone insurance policy?” The answer is no. The certificate does not exist on its own. If you own a car, the document is a rider to your existing auto insurance policy. You’ll purchase a non-owner insurance policy with an FR44 attachment if you don’t own a vehicle. FR44 Non Owner Insurance (without a car) is generally cheaper than owner-operator insurance (with a car). However, when you own a vehicle, you can’t purchase a non-owner certificate to avoid paying a higher premium.
“Do I need to carry FR44 if I move out of state?” This certificate is only available in Florida and Virginia, so the coverage cannot be transferred if you move out of these states. If you carry FR44 insurance and move to another state, our agents can ensure you remain legally insured without interruption before moving.

What is a non owner policy?
Often, an SR22 or FR44 certificate is endorsed to a non owner policy to reinstate your license when you don’t own a vehicle. Non owner insurance covers only you, the policyholder. It provides limited liability insurance coverage when you drive a non-owned car. You can also purchase a non owner policy on its own, without an SR22 or FR44 rider. There are restrictions and exclusions to know about with this kind of insurance.
It may seem strange to buy an insurance policy to drive a car if you don’t own a vehicle, but it’s a wise thing to do. Even if you don’t own a car, truck, or motorcycle,
