Kentucky SR22 Insurance – Do You Need Lower Rates?
Q: Although I’ve been trying, finding a SR22 car insurance company is proving impossible. How can I get insured now that I have to file an SR22 form?
A: Many companies refuse to offer Kentucky SR22 insurance because it’s simply too risky, and so for those who must file it, looking for a company that does offer it can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. While these companies may show up on the map less frequently or may be more expensive, this isn’t to say that it is impossible to become insured this way. You just have to know where to look.
You need to look for companies which claim to offer high risk insurance, because your SR22 falls into this category. By choosing these companies, you are more likely to be sold an insurance policy, since they sell them to most. If your driving record is really bad, though, you might be denied even by them.
But the road doesn’t end there. If you can’t take out a SR22 policy from a high risk policy, you can go ahead and join the state assigned risk pool, where you will definitely get insured.
Is Kentucky Auto Insurance Program Offering SR22 Insurance?
Q: What is the Kentucky Auto Insurance Program, and can I get my DUI SR22 through it?
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.
Kentucky SR22 Auto Insurance – Where To Get It?
Q: I’ve been turned down by three car insurance companies since the judge told me last Wednesday that I would have to get a SR22 policy in order to get my driver’s license back, and I can’t figure out where I’m supposed to go to get insurance. Is there a special place? Yes, I have 2 DUIs on my record. ![]()
A: Not really. No ‘special’ place for SR22 insurance exists, although there are some companies which are more likely to insure you than others. Depending on a company’s policy for risk and the amount of trouble you have had in the past in addition to your need for an SR22 to be filed, your level of difficulty in finding a car insurance policy can change.
Mostly, though, it would make sense for you to start your search among companies which are deemed as high risk. Companies like these thrive on people like you, with your fast cars or your SR22 policies. Because you’re more risky, they can charge you more and make more money. However, although they insure most, they don’t insure everybody.
If you aren’t part of most, then you can fall to the final resort of becoming part of the SR22 assigned risk pool, where you’ll be guaranteed to be insured by a random company, although your premiums will be very high.
