How do you get car insurance with a DUI?
I got a DUI this spring. I'm finally able to drive again, but I need insurance. How does insurance work with a DUI?

“Everyone makes mistakes—the best we can do is learn from them.
Fortunately, you can get
car insurance
with a DUI by contacting insurance providers—just as anyone without a DUI would.However, it may be more expensive and more challenging. That’s because drivers with DUIs are considered high risk to car insurance companies. Your driving history suggests you’ll file more claims or get into more accidents.
Because of this, you’re going to pay more for a policy than someone with a
clean driving record
. And some companies won’t agree to insure you at all. So you’ll need to shop around.If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, use
Jerry
. The Jerry app partners with big-name insurers that take on higher-risk drivers, and Jerry can collect up to 50 quotes in seconds for free!Before you get too far, you’ll want to check with the DMV as to whether you require an
SR22
. If so, you’ll need to specify as much in order to get accurate quotes.While your rates may be extremely expensive right now, trust that they will go back down over time—as long as you stay committed to driving safely.”
