Details on SR-22 filings from The General.

The general's non-owner SR-22

The General's SR-22 information says non-owner SR-22 insurance is meant for people who must follow their state's SR-22 rules but do not own a car. This applies to drivers who often borrow a car or rent one.

There is a catch. You may not qualify if the owner of the car you drive lives with you. The page also describes a non-owner SR-22 as secondary coverage. Damage to a borrowed car is covered first by the owner's insurance, and your policy pays what remains.

SR-22 fees at the general

The General does not list a dollar amount. The General says costs vary by state, and a filing fee or premium surcharge may be applied. The General describes SR-22 fees as typically not very expensive. It says the violation behind the filing will cause your premiums to go up.

The General's filing locations and process

The General says it offers SR-22 filings in most states. The General adds that, in most states, it can file only where your policy was issued.

Tell The General you need an SR-22 when you get your free quote. After you apply and buy online, it includes the SR-22 form with your policy documents. You can also call 1-844-328-0306.

How long an SR-22 filing lasts

Most drivers need an SR-22 filing to last at least three years. Some cases run five years or longer. Your state decides when the clock starts. The start may be the offense date, conviction date, suspension date, or reinstatement date.

Cancelling the policy makes the insurer send an SR-26 to the state right away. Expect to lose your license and registration after that, and the filing time starts over.
