Some auto insurance companies really do not offer SR22 insurance and since you have a DUI charge in California, your auto insurance company will cancel or not renew your current policy. Because of that, you would have to find another insurance company that offers SR22 auto insurance. Let me tell you now that you can count on your rates being higher not only because of your DUI charge but also because you will now have a cancellation on your claims history.
Once you switch auto insurance companies to get a new policy with SR22 insurance coverage, you will then be considered as a “high-risk” driver because of your DUI charge. This would be especially true if you received safe-driver discounts or you were in a “preferred class.” Your premium rates would rise massively once you get a conviction for DUI. Because of that, you can start shopping around for auto insurance providers that specialize in high risk policies. You may want to try to get an online rate quote from this website for your SR22 auto insurance and you’ll find out that you could still get a great auto insurance for a lesser price.
