A: The Kentucky Auto Insurance Program is a program for people who have trouble finding a company which will sell them insurance, in many cases SR22 insurance. People who can’t find insurance can join the assigned risk pool by filling out an application, and the AIP will then give their application to a participating company. All car insurance companies who are license to sell insurance policies by the state of Kentucky are required to participate in the Auto Insurance Program.

You can get any kind of SR22 coverage through the AIP, but the prices will be higher, so you should only submit an application there if you cannot get insured otherwise. In order to qualify to join the AIP pool, you have to have been rejected by an insurance company within two months of your application, and be able to provide proof that you have been rejected, so you have no choice but to do some shopping around first.

Since you are getting SR22 insurance, remember that there are some time constraints. If you apply to join the AIP pool, it takes about 15 days for you to actually get insured.

A: You may just be with a car insurance company which doesn’t have a lot of discounts. I would say that is the first sign that you need to get out. Start looking up quotes online and think about changing to a company with a lower car insurance quote and a better range of discounts. Depending on the size and number of discounts you’d qualify for, sometimes it’s better to trade a lower initial quote for a lot of discounts.

Many of the discounts aren’t applicable to a non owner SR22 insurance policies because they involve aspects of he car, such as anti theft device discount, low mileage discounts, safety feature discounts, and the like. But many are careless discounts.

For example, you can get a discount for combining your insurance policies, by getting your life, health, home owners/renters, and car insurance all from the same company. You can choose from a variety of student and senior discounts, or take classes to watch your non owner SR22 car insurance rate plummet.
