Coverage Options
Understanding your coverage options helps you build a policy that protects what matters — without paying for what you don't need.
Non-Standard Auto InsuranceCoverage from carriers that specialize in drivers with points, tickets, or violations. These insurers price point violations more competitively than standard carriers and won't automatically deny coverage for a moving violation.
Liability InsuranceThe minimum coverage required by law in most states. If your rates increased significantly after a violation, dropping to liability-only can reduce your premium while you wait for points to fall off your record.
Full CoverageLiability plus collision and comprehensive. Required if you have a loan or lease, and recommended if your vehicle value makes it worth protecting despite higher post-violation premiums.
Uninsured Motorist CoverageProtects you if you're hit by a driver with no insurance. Recommended for violation drivers because you're statistically more likely to be in another incident during the first year after a violation.Recent Articles

Find Coverage with Points on Your LicenseFrequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need SR-22 after getting points?
Most point violations from speeding tickets or minor moving violations do not require SR-22 filing. SR-22 is typically only required for specific offenses like DUI, reckless driving, driving without insurance, or accumulating enough points to trigger a license suspension. Your state DMV or court will notify you directly if SR-22 is required.
When do points fall off my driving record?
Point expiration timelines vary by state, but most violations stay on your record for 3 to 5 years. In some states, points fall off based on the violation date; in others, they expire on a rolling basis. Your insurance surcharge typically ends when the points officially expire, though some carriers may reduce your rate sooner if you maintain a clean record.
Can I get car insurance with multiple violations on my record?
Yes. Non-standard and high-risk carriers specialize in covering drivers with multiple violations, accumulated points, or suspended licenses. Your rates will be higher than a clean-record driver, but you will not be denied coverage outright. The key is working with a carrier or broker that has access to non-standard markets.
