Liberty Mutual charges a $15 to $25 filing fee for an SR-22, plus an increased premium. SR-22 insurance from Liberty Mutual costs an average of $1,938 per year, which is 120% more than a standard policy, since drivers who need an SR-22 are considered high risk. The exact amount that your insurance goes up due to an SR-22 ultimately depends on the violation that led to the SR-22 filling.
Liberty Mutual's Average SR-22 Insurance Premiums by Violation
| Suspended License | $2,291 per year |
| Reckless Driving | $2,326 per year |
| DUI | $2,326 per year |
| Driving Without Insurance | $1,161 per year |

Most states require drivers to have an SR-22 on file for 3-5 years after being convicted of a serious moving violation, like DUI or reckless driving. Once you no longer need an SR-22, your Liberty Mutual rate should start to go back down. In the meantime, there are still ways that you can keep your Liberty Mutual premium affordable, including taking advantage of discounts and temporarily limiting your coverage to your state’s minimum requirements.
