Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance while my license is suspended?

Most states require you to maintain continuous insurance even during suspension to avoid extending the suspension period or adding reinstatement fees. Some states allow a gap if you surrender your plates, but many track coverage lapses through electronic reporting.

How long do I have to carry SR-22 insurance?

SR-22 filing periods last 3 years in most states, measured from the conviction or reinstatement date depending on state law. Early termination is not allowed, and any lapse restarts the entire filing period.

Can I get a hardship license while suspended?

Hardship licenses allow limited driving to work, school, or medical appointments during suspension. Eligibility depends on violation type — most states exclude DUI offenders for the first 30-90 days. You must carry SR-22 insurance to qualify.

Which insurance carriers accept suspended drivers?

Non-standard carriers like The General, Direct Auto, Acceptance Insurance, and Progressive's non-standard division write policies for suspended drivers. Standard carriers typically decline suspended applicants until reinstatement is complete.
