Filing fees for Direct auto SR-22

Direct Auto lists an expected filing cost of around $25 on its SR-22 page, though the amount may vary by state and insurer. Each renewal brings another payment, and the payments stop once you no longer need the SR-22.

A mark on your driving record often raises your rate, according to the page. The price also depends on your ZIP code, the vehicle you drive, and your coverage choices.

Non-owner coverage and the SR-22

The guide for non-owner insurance from Direct Auto gives one case for this coverage: you must send your state an SR-22 or FR-44 filing, and you own no car. The guide says such a policy could help you meet the legal rules and bring back or keep your driving privileges.

Neither page names the states that let Direct Auto file a non-owner SR-22. Ask when you get a quote.

You can call 1-877-GO-DIRECT or get a quote on the site, then ask for the filing with your policy.

How long it lasts, lapses, and moving

  • Length: most cases last at least three years, but it could run five years or longer. Your local DMV can tell you the exact time.
  • After a lapse, the DMV must hear from the insurer at once. Suspension of your license is possible, and the SR-22 period may begin again.
  • If you move, the filing stays with the old state, even if your new state has no SR-22 rule.
  • You may switch insurers, as long as coverage has no gap.

Questions people ask about direct auto SR22 insurance

Can I stop my SR-22 early?

Direct Auto says ending it early is possible only when your conviction is overturned and a finding shows the SR-22 is not needed anymore. A state or court sets the requirement; the insurer does not.

If I skip the SR-22, what happens?

The Direct Auto SR-22 page says that not filing when told may lead to car impoundment, fines, loss of your driving privileges, or even arrest.

Are FR-44 filings offered by Direct Auto?

An FR-44 for DUI cases and DWI offenses is also used in Florida and Virginia. Direct Auto's SR-22 page notes this, but does not say whether the company files one. Ask before purchasing.
