You need an SR-22 in Nebraska for three years. Drivers with an SR-22 in Nebraska must maintain at least the minimum car insurance coverage required by Nebraska law for three years, and if there is any lapse in coverage, the clock resets. Nebraska mandates at least $25,000 in bodily injury liability insurance per person ($50,000 per accident), and at least $25,000 in property damage liability coverage. Nebraska also requires uninsured motorist protection.

When you get SR-22 insurance coverage in Nebraska, your insurance company files your SR-22 certification with the state on your behalf. Failing to file an SR-22 can result in your vehicle registration or license being suspended, in addition to costly reinstatement fees. Your insurer also notifies the state if you cancel your policy or allow it to lapse prematurely. You’re even required to maintain an SR-22 if you move from Nebraska, using an out-of-state filing.

If you’re unable to afford your payments, contact your insurance provider before you miss a due date. You can request a different payment plan or get information about subsidized plans that may be more affordable.

SR-22 is actually the name of the form the court or state requires from drivers convicted of certain violations, such as...

How much does non-owner SR-22 insurance cost?

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.

The exact cost of a non-owner SR-22 policy depends on where the driver lives and how much car insurance they’re...
