Coverage Options

Understanding your coverage options helps you build a policy that protects what matters — without paying for what you don't need.

Hardship License Insurance

Coverage that meets your state's proof-of-insurance requirement once a hardship license is granted. Most states require SR-22 filing; Florida and Virginia require FR-44 with higher liability minimums.

SR-22 Insurance

Court-ordered proof of insurance filed by your carrier with the DMV, required in 49 states after license suspension. Filing lasts 3 years in most states; violations during the SR-22 period restart the clock.

Non-Owner SR-22

SR-22 insurance for drivers who don't own a vehicle but need proof of coverage to reinstate or maintain a hardship license. Covers liability when you borrow or rent a car.

FR-44 Insurance

Florida and Virginia's high-risk filing requirement after DUI suspension, with liability minimums double the standard SR-22 amounts. FR-44 costs more than SR-22 because of the higher required limits.

Ignition Interlock Insurance

Coverage that explicitly allows ignition interlock devices, required in 33 states for hardship licenses granted after DUI. Some carriers exclude interlock-equipped vehicles; this policy type confirms coverage.

Restricted License Coverage

Liability insurance that meets state minimums for drivers on occupational, medical-only, or work-permit licenses. Covers you only during approved driving hours and routes specified in your hardship order.
