SR-22 101 in California
An SR-22 is proof that you carry the insurance coverage required for your filing. It is not a separate insurance policy; your insurer files it with the state.
- There is no single price that applies to every driver. Request a quote for your situation and compare the coverage, amount due today, payment schedule, and any separately disclosed fees.
- Your required filing period depends on the state and the action affecting your license. Follow your DMV or court notice, and confirm your end date before canceling or changing coverage.
- Tell your agent if the filing state differs from where you live so the available policy and filing can be confirmed for your situation.
