Minimum Coverage Requirements in Kansas

SR-22 filing is triggered by DUI convictions, license suspensions for violations, driving without insurance, and at-fault accidents while uninsured. For drivers with points from speeding tickets or minor violations, SR-22 is typically not required—your primary concern is rate increases from carrier surcharges. Kansas uses a point system where accumulating 3 moving violations in 12 months triggers a license suspension, which then requires SR-22.

Liability Insurance

High-risk drivers often face rejection from standard carriers at state minimums and may need to purchase higher limits (50/100/50 or 100/300/100) to access non-standard markets. If you're reinstating after a suspension, the Kansas Department of Revenue will verify continuous coverage at these minimums before lifting the suspension.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not insurance—it's a certificate your insurer files with the Kansas Department of Revenue proving you carry at least 25/50/25 liability. Not all carriers offer SR-22 filing in Kansas; non-standard carriers like The General, Dairyland, and Bristol West specialize in SR-22 policies for high-risk drivers.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, collision, and comprehensive and is required by Kansas lenders if you're financing or leasing a vehicle.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Kansas does not require uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, but insurers must offer it and you must reject it in writing.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers write policies for drivers rejected by standard insurers due to DUI, SR-22 requirements, lapses, or multiple violations.
