SR22 Non-Owners Insurance Policy
Reader’s Question:
I have SR22 non-owners insurance here in Florida as I was required to have it in the past. If for instance I drive an uninsured car, will my SR22 be considered as proof of insurance for this type of a car?

You have to make sure that any car you drive is insured and don’t be dependent on your SR22 car insurance in Florida to provide the needed coverage. Whoever owns the car you will drive should be responsible to obtain car insurance for it. Your SR22 non-owners insurance policy will be secondary to that car insurance coverage. This type of a car insurance policy does not normally cover physical damage of the car or other types of coverage such as personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured or underinsured motorist.
In the event that you get involved in an accident on a car that you just borrowed from someone, its car insurance will be in effect first. However, if for instance it was an at-fault accident and the damage to the other party’s car and property can’t be fully covered by the car insurance policy, your SR22 non-owners insurance policy will cover the rest up to its limits.
In case that the car insurance policy of the borrowed car lapsed or wasn’t in force, the non-owners policy will provide coverage for you if you get into an accident. However, you must understand that a non-owners car insurance policy only covers liability and not the car itself.
Non Owner SR22 Insurance
Reader’s Question:
Can I enlist two or more drivers in my non owner SR22 insurance?
Betty

Non owner SR22 insurance is one option that many individuals who do not own cars choose to save on their rental car fees. This is because the non owner SR22 insurance provides coverage even to rented cars. Additionally, non owner SR22 insurance will give a borrowed car the necessary insurance coverage. Non owner SR22 insurance is usually obtained by individuals who frequently drive their friends’ or relatives’ cars but are not listed under their insurance policies. This SR22 car insurance is a certificate of coverage given by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and will usually bear the name of the car owner. So if you are asking whether you can enlist two or more drivers in your non owner SR22 insurance, then the one who can really answer that is the owner of the car that you usually borrow. Bear in mind though that adding more drivers to your insurance policy instantly increases the premiums. This is because the chances of getting into more accidents are increased if more drivers are allowed to drive one car.

What is non owner sr 22 insurance and how do I get one? My friend told me I need one of this when I got arrested driving while intoxicated using his car.

You’ve had a late night drinking with your friends at the local bar. You decided to call it a night and hop behind the steering wheel of your rented Cadillac. You thought you were only going 20 kilometers per hour at the highway when you suddenly hear the whoop of a police siren flagging you down. The police notice that you are slurring your words and ask you to take a breathalyzer test. What seemed to be an enjoyable night turns into a nightmare when they tell you that you flunked the test and that your driving privileges are suspended. How do you remedy the situation?
The answer is quite simple – get a non owner sr 22 insurance policy right away.
The non owner sr 22 insurance is a policy designed to allow drivers who do not own a vehicle to have their privileges reinstated and be able to legally drive again. It is required by all states – however, the rules per state differ.
Getting a non owner sr 22 insurance is relatively simple. All you have to do is shop around for insurance agencies that offer the said service. You can search the internet for options or go to the state Department of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV) website to check which insurance providers can do the job for you.
Your chosen insurance company will then accomplish the appropriate sr 22 form for you. Some companies fill out the form then give it to the policy driver to file at the DMV. There are others, though, who do the filing for you and have it received or approved within the day.
A driver whose privileges have been suspended will need to own a non owner sr 22 insurance policy for a maximum of three years.

Reader’s Question:
I have been convicted of DUI and have been in a terrible accident last year. Now, in able to reinstate my license, I have to make up by purchasing SR22 insurance. What should I do? To make matters more confusing, I have no vehicle to drive since it totaled last year in the said accident, and how is it possible that they require me to have SR22 insurance even if I have no vehicle to drive? What is this Non Owner SR22 insurance anyway?

Maybe you got it all wrong. SR22 insurance is not a true insurance; it is a form or proof of certification stating liabilities or financial responsibilities. In your case, your license will not be reinstated unless you carry with you a financial responsibility related to your previous accident. It is a requirement, and it is used as clearance in order to reinstate your license and to retain your driving privileges. You need not to have a vehicle in order to have SR22 insurance; you just have to submit a form (SR22 form) which will be provided by your carrier to the Department of Motor Vehicles or to the courts if it is requested.
If currently you have no car to drive, it does not mean you do not have to obtain insurance because it is still a requirement for reinstating your license or maintaining your driving privileges. Having no ownership does not mean you cannot drive another vehicle at all, so it cannot be used as a valid reason. For instance, you have no ownership of vehicle, but you can still drive other vehicles with permission granted by the owner.
A Non owner SR22 insurance, it has to be said, does not extend to the insured’s household, and he/she cannot drive a vehicle owned by household members due to some legal concerns. If you have not owned a vehicle, and the state requires you to carry SR22 insurance in order to maintain your driving privileges, you can submit a Non Owner SR22 insurance so as to keep your license valid and your driving privileges intact.

Reader’s Question:
My sister and her husband live next door, and I borrow her car a lot. Do I have to get non owner sr22 insurance?
Jeremy
Miami, FL
Have you asked your auto insurance agent about this? I recommend you check whether or not you can be listed under your sister’s auto insurance policy. She is required to submit the names of all the drivers in the family even student drivers. The roster isn’t limited to household members. If you use her car as often as you say you do, maybe she could get you listed as one of the drivers of her car. This way, you can get coverage, as well, Jeremy.
As for non owner sr22 insurance, this is generally offered to those who need proof of auto insurance in order to get their driver’s license. By the way, an SR22 is only a form which proves that one is properly insured and consequently is able to pay for any damage in the event of an accident. For example, a driver with a history of Drinking under the Influence (DUI) may be required by the court to show proof that if he or she gets into another road accident (which is likely if one tends to drink and drive), he or she will be able to take responsibility for his or her negligence. Without an SR22, this driver won’t be able to get a driver’s license.

Reader’s Question:
I was caught driving without a license. After paying the fines, they said I need to have an SR-22 insurance though I have never had a driver’s license. Is this true? I live in Fontana CA.
Rob
Fontana, CA
Some states, like California, have a driving record of a person without a license so it is possible that a state may require an SR-22 even without a driver’s license.
It seems that your state penalizes someone for driving without a license, and insurance as well, by requiring the person to get an SR-22. You may need to have this if you want to get a license at this point or may be required if you want to apply in the near future.
The SR-22 serves as a proof of financial responsibility. You may want to check with your local DMV why you should acquire an SR-22 even without a driver’s license.

Reader’s Question:
The policy period of my auto insurance is going to end soon. I would like to change my insurance company when my current insurance ends. What’s the best way to go about it? I live in Columbus, OH, if it helps any.

Selecting, purchasing and cancelling auto insurance coverage is your right. Choose the insurance company that you feel comfortable in best. Insurance companies should be insuring and assuring. Cancelling auto insurance subscription is easy. Most auto insurance companies say that you can cancel your policy anytime by just sending a written request. Now, that’s convenience for you. Of course, you’ll have to check in Columbus, OH, with your insurance company if they allow this procedure. You may call them, write them or visit them to cancel your policy. What you don’t want to do is assume that your policy will automatically be cancelled after the policy has expired. If you don’t inform them that you are discontinuing the policy, they will still bill you even after the policy expired. When they don’t hear from you (when the bill is not paid) they will then cancel your policy because you failed to pay your due. The policy gets cancelled, but the reason for the cancellation (failure to pay premium) will appear on your credit report. A bad mark on your credit report will affect your next auto insurance policy. This may become a reason for a denial of insurance application or a higher premium rate.

Reader’s Question:
Am I still going to be required by my state of Maine to carry auto insurance even if I do not own a car?
Paula
Portland, ME
You are not required to carry auto insurance on yourself if you do not own a car, however, when driving other people’s cars you will need to make sure their insurance extends to you so that you can show proof of insurance if requested by law enforcement.
If you fail to produce evidence of insurance in Maine, you will be required to file proof of financial responsibility through an SR-22 insurance certificate or face suspension of your license and registration privileges. So, even if you do not own a car but is required to carry SR-22, then you could be required to carry insurance, this may be in the form of a non-owner’s policy.
So again, showing a proof of auto insurance is required when you are driving other people’s vehicles. I would suggest making sure that the vehicle is insured by the car owner and that you are covered by that insurance just in case you’d be involved in an accident.

Reader’s Question:
My daughter has non-owners sr22, so she can drive my vehicle to work and back. She is thinking about getting a motorcycle. Will she still be able to drive my vehicle on that same insurance if she changes her insurance, and puts it on a motorcycle? We live in Babylon, NY.
Daniel
Babylon, NY
A motorcycle is technically not an automobile, because a motorcycle does not have four wheels. He can also add a ‘Miscellaneous Type Vehicle’ endorsement to her current personal auto insurance policy. This endorsement will permit her to cover her motorcycle on her current non-owners sr22 policy. If she is unable to do this endorsement, she will need to take out an insurance policy that is separate from his non-owner sr22 policy and keep his non-owner sr22 policy in force.
She may check different ca insurance website to make comparison shop. This is a great way to get a cheaper auto insurance rate.
