SR-22 insurance in California costs $877 per year on average, depending on the underlying offense. That means an SR-22 raises California’s annual car insurance premiums by roughly $33, compared to standard rates. That’s an increase of 4%. The penalties are even worse for repeat offenders. Having your license suspended and even going to jail become possibilities.
In addition to steep premium increases, having to file an SR-22 will result in the loss of any customer discounts that your car insurance company had been giving you. For instance, if you receive a DUI conviction in California, you will be ineligible for a safe-driver discount for 3 years. If you were previously benefiting from a 15% safe-driver discount, your premium is guaranteed to go up by at least 15% for the next few years.
