What is SR22 form and who needs it?
It is important to know that Florida SR22 does not refer to a Florida auto insurance.
SR22 is the name of a form used by car insurance companies in order to certify compliance for drivers required to maintain minimum limits of liability insurance.
The SR22 form is submitted by the insurance company to Florida’s Bureau of Financial Responsibility.
Florida’s No Fault Law requires most residents of Florida to maintain:
- $10,000 of Personal Injury Protection
- $10,000 of Property Damage Liability
Drivers are required an SR22 form if they have traffic violations, like DUI or suspension for too many points.
To comply with the Florida SR22, the minimum bodily liability limits change to:
- $10,000 per person
- $20,000 per accident
The requirements could also be fulfilled with a single limit of liability of $30,000.
$15.00 is the filling fee of an SR22, which is the only additional cost to the insured.
If you are required to file an SR22 and you fail to do so, your driver’s license can be suspended.
Here are some essential tips and information to help you out:
1.First, realize that even a supposedly cheap SR22 insurance policy is still likely to be more expensive than a regular car insurance coverage. This has a lot to do with the level of risk the driver represents (getting his driver’s license suspended and all) so instead, aim to get an affordable SR22.
2.Look for car insurance companies that specializes in coverage after a DUI conviction or any other offense that has cost you your license. You would get better rates and deals with them compared to the general-purpose insurance carriers.
3.The Web is still the best way to find cheap SR22 insurance. There are lot’s of car insurance websites that can help you shop for relatively-cheap policies online. Rates can vary significantly from one company to another so always do a comparison before taking a policy.
4.Taking defensive driving classes, adding additional safety and security features on the car, driving less, and anything else that you do to lower your risk as a driver can contribute to ease-up the costs of maintaining an the policy over the long run.
