Does Geico provide SR-22 insurance?

Yes. Geico does insure high-risk drivers. For example, Geico will insure high-risk drivers who have to file an SR-22 or FR-44 form, asserting that they’re carrying the minimum insurance coverage required by state law after a DUI or other major moving violation. However, keep in mind that risky drivers are typically charged more expensive insurance premiums.… read full answer

High-risk drivers aren’t just those who have been in several accidents or received many tickets. Teenage or senior (65+) drivers and drivers who haven’t had continuous auto insurance coverage are also considered high-risk drivers in the eyes of auto insurance providers. Since so many different factors go into determining a driver’s potential risk, such as one’s driving record, credit history, residential area and type of vehicle, it’s unavoidable that Geico and most other car insurance companies will cover high-risk drivers to some degree.

Geico Insures High-Risk Drivers Who:

• Have little driving experience.
• Have a poor driving record.
• Have a gap in their insurance history.
• Have to file SR-22 or FR-44 (FL and VA residents) forms with the state.
• Have filed multiple claims.
• Live in a densely populated area.
• Are a teenage or senior (65+) driver.
• Drive a vehicle without safety features.

Sometimes, larger auto insurance companies group high-risk drivers under subsidiary companies to keep their policies separate from customers considered less risky. Geico’s high-risk subsidiary is Geico Casualty Co., and it specializes in coverage for customers that Geico calls “non-standard risks.” Geico uses its own points system to determine how much of a risk each customer poses, so customers don’t need to worry about seeking out the company’s high-risk subsidiary directly to get a quote or pay a bill.

Non-owner SR-22 insurance costs at least $15 - $25, due to the fee insurers charge for filing an SR-22 form with the DMV. Non-owner SR-22 insurance also costs roughly 3% more than a standard non-owner car insurance policy, on average, given the high-risk surcharge that insurers apply to the premiums of drivers who need an SR-22.… read full answer

The exact cost of a non-owner SR-22 policy depends on where the driver lives and how much car insurance they’re required to have. But because non-owner SR-22 insurance applies only to drivers, and not their cars too, it generally costs less than regular SR-22 coverage.

How Non-Owner SR-22 Insurance Works

Non-owner SR-22 insurance is coverage for drivers who do not own a car but are required by their state to file an SR-22 as verification of insurance. Most states require drivers to file an SR-22 after they are convicted of a major moving violation, such as DUI or reckless driving. This applies even if you don’t own a car, which is where non-owner SR-22 insurance comes in handy.

You will not be eligible for non-owner SR-22 insurance if anyone in your household owns a car. If you purchase a non-owner SR-22 policy, you will only need it for 3-5 years, depending on your state. Those who do not plan on driving in the future can drop their coverage once they are no longer required to have an SR-22 on file.

Progressive offers SR-22 insurance to drivers classified as “high-risk” by their state. High-risk insurance is often called SR-22 insurance, but SR-22 is actually not a type of coverage. It’s a form verifying that you have met the state’s minimum requirements for car insurance coverage. In most states, Progressive will electronically file your SR-22 document with the department of motor vehicles immediately after you purchase your policy, unless they are required by state law to file by mail. The filing fee is usually around $25.… read full answer

Most drivers do not need an SR-22. It’s most commonly required if you were driving without insurance or a license, or if you were convicted of a DUI/DWI. In states like Florida or Virginia, you might need an FR-44, which is similar but requires more coverage than an SR-22.

If you do need SR-22 insurance from Progressive, call 866-749-7436 to speak with a Progressive representative. Progressive rates only increase by about 5% nationwide for SR-22 drivers, so it tends to be an affordable option for high-risk insurance compared to other large companies.
