If you’re eager to get back on the road after a DUI or other serious driving offense, you’re typically required to file for an SR-22 — a certificate of insurance that proves you’re legal to get back behind the wheel. If you’re already with Travelers, contact your agent about filing an SR-22 on your behalf.

If you already have a policy with Travelers, contact your local agent to see if you can get covered under an SR-22.
For your agent to file for an SR-22 on your behalf, you’ll need to provide:
You’ll find that most insurance companies charge between $25 to $50 to file a SR-22 for you. You can also be dropped from coverage for certain violations like a DUI.
If you don’t have a current policy or you’re dropped by your current provider, Travelers may be willing to take you on. Eligibility for an SR-22 policy is determined by case and depends on your state, violation and driving history. Call a local agent to see if they’ll cover you.
Having an SR-22 means that you’re considered a high-risk driver, so it’s possible that you’ll see an increase in your premiums. Ultimately, rates are based on your age, driving history and other factors. Once you meet your SR-22 requirements, your rates could go down.
Talk with a Travelers agent about how much you should expect to pay once you file for an SR-22. You may be eligible for discounts to help lower your payments.
It’s possible that Travelers will cancel your insurance policy once you’re required to file for an SR-22.
If you’re denied coverage because of an SR-22, like most car insurance providers, Travelers should notify you with sufficient time to find coverage elsewhere.
It depends on where you live and your violation, but many states require you to file for an SR-22 up to three years — and even up to five for serious violations like an DUI.
To avoid any blips in your SR-22 requirement, you’ll want to pay your premiums on time and avoid further issues on the road. If you fail to sustain continued coverage while an SR-22 is on your policy, you could face a reset on your filing requirement.
When you’ve fulfilled your SR-22 responsibility, your DMV will notify you. It’s then your responsibility to let your Travelers agent know. They’ll confirm with the state and remove the SR-22 from your policy.
Ask your Travelers agent if removing the SR-22 can result in more affordable premiums.
If you don’t own a car but occasionally get behind the wheel, you’ll typically need coverage. Insurance companies often offer non-owner SR-22 policies that insures you, and not the car you drive.
Contact your Travelers agent to learn the options available for non-owner policies.
