The Short Answer

Yes, but probably less than you think.

SR22 requirements do increase insurance rates because you're classified as a high-risk driver. However, with the right approach, the increase can be much more manageable than expected.

How SR22 Costs Differ from Regular Insurance

Will my rates go up? Understanding these key differences can help you save money.

Car Model Doesn't Matter

Since the SR22 bond follows you as the driver, it doesn't matter what car you drive or if you don't own a car at all. This eliminates one major cost factor found in regular auto insurance.

Minimum Coverage Only

SR22 bonds are designed to provide minimum coverage needed to get you back on the road. While you can choose more coverage, this keeps costs as low as possible.

Driver-Focused Pricing

Rates are based on you as a driver, not your vehicle. This means factors like comprehensive and collision coverage don't apply, reducing overall costs.

What Affects Your SR22 Rates?

Will my rates go up? Understanding these factors helps you find the best possible rate.

Driving Record

The type and number of violations affect your rate. DUI, accidents, and multiple violations increase costs more than single incidents.

Location

Where you live in Ohio affects rates. Urban areas typically cost more than rural areas due to higher accident rates.

Age & Experience

Younger drivers and those with less experience typically pay higher rates, while mature drivers often get better pricing.

Marital Status

Married drivers often receive lower rates as they're statistically considered lower risk than single drivers.

How to Keep Your Costs Low

Proven strategies to minimize your SR22 insurance costs.

Shop Multiple Companies

Different insurance companies have vastly different rates for high-risk drivers. We automatically compare rates from multiple providers to find your lowest option.

Make Payments On Time

Late payments can trigger policy cancellation and license suspension. Set up automatic payments to avoid lapses and additional fees.

Avoid Additional Violations

Additional tickets or violations while carrying an SR22 can significantly increase your rates. Drive carefully to keep costs down.

Maintain Coverage Continuously

Keeping your SR22 active for the full required period without lapses can lead to better rates when you no longer need the filing.
