What Is High-Risk Auto Insurance Insurance?
High-risk insurance isn't a different product from standard auto insurance. It's the same liability, collision, and comprehensive coverages sold by carriers who specialize in drivers that major insurers decline: suspended licenses, DUI convictions, multiple at-fault accidents, lapses in coverage, or serious moving violations.
Who Needs High-Risk Auto Insurance Insurance?
You need high-risk insurance if your license is suspended and Nevada DMV lists SR-22 filing as a reinstatement requirement, or if standard carriers have non-renewed or declined your application due to your driving record. You also need it if you're currently suspended for any reason and want to maintain continuous coverage to avoid a lapse surcharge when you reinstate, even if SR-22 isn't required for your specific suspension type.
Check your Nevada DMV reinstatement letter or call the DMV at 775-684-4368 to confirm whether SR-22 is required for your suspension type. If yes, you must buy high-risk insurance from a carrier licensed to file SR-22 in Nevada before the DMV will process reinstatement. If no SR-22 is required but your record prevents standard carriers from offering coverage, get quotes from non-standard carriers to compare premiums and decide whether to reinstate immediately or wait until your violation ages off your MVR.
How Much Does High-Risk Auto Insurance Insurance Cost?
- Length of suspension and violation recency matter: a five-year-old DUI with clean driving since costs less to insure than a one-year-old DUI, even if both drivers currently need SR-22.
