Coverage for High Risk Drivers
If you are considered a
high risk driver you may be able to get
coverage from this company.
High risk coverage is also known as "nonstandard
auto insurance." You may be considered a
higher insurance risk in these situations:
- You have a history of moving violations or you have been involved in an accident for which you were deemed the at-fault driver.
- You have only been a licensed driver for a short time.
- Your insurance coverage lapsed at some point.
- You drive a high-performance vehicle or one that is expensive to repair.
In these circumstances, you may not be able to buy insurance from an standard
insurance company. Some insurers, like the
General Auto Insurance, do provide
insurance products to this market.
SR-22 Filings
A high-risk driver may be required to provide proof of
insurance to the state where they operate the vehicle. An SR-22 may be needed if you were involved in an accident and were uninsured at the time or you were the at-fault driver in an accident. This company can help drivers who need to produce an SR-22 in most parts of the United States.
Depending on the offense and the jurisdiction where you live, you may need to have SR-22
coverage in place for several years. The average amount of time the SR-22 is required is three years. When you ask for an
online quote from the
General Auto Insurance Company, simply indicate that you need to make an SR-22 filing. The necessary form will be provided when you buy your policy, and you can take it to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get your driving privileges reinstated.
