Got questions?

We have answers for you on all things insurance.
Do I always need insurance to reinstate my license?
In many suspension cases, active insurance is required before reinstatement. Requirements depend on the reason for suspension and state regulations.
Do I need an SR-22 to reinstate my license?
An SR-22 is commonly required after certain violations such as DUI or driving without insurance. Not all suspensions require an SR-22.
How fast can my SR-22 be filed?
Once a policy is activated, required filings can typically be submitted promptly according to state guidelines.
What happens if my insurance lapses during the required period?
If coverage lapses while an SR-22 or reinstatement requirement is active, the state may be notified and the required filing period could restart.
Can I get insurance the same day?
Coverage activation may be available the same day depending on eligibility and underwriting approval.
