Q: What is Atlanta GA DUI insurance?

A: A special kind of insurance is required for those who have, in the eyes of the law, proven themselves to be untrustworthy on the road. Sometimes this will be because they have driven uninsured and gotten into a wreck, so it needs to be ensured that they have insurance, and other times it’s because they’ve driven drunk, so they need Atlanta GA DUI insurance. After your license has been suspended, the only way you can get it back is by getting this special type of insurance.

Atlanta GA DUI insurance is mostly called SR-22 insurance. SR-22 is the form which your car insurance company files with the DMV to verify that you are, indeed, insured. If you don’t have an SR-22 form filed every month on the dot, then your license will be suspended for being uninsured.

One of the annoyances with Atlanta GA DUI insurance is that it’s more expensive than other kinds of insurance, because you’re riskier with it. You’ll continue to get high prices for up to five years after your DUI, even though you’re only required to file the SR-22 form for three years.

Q: I’m a good driver, but now I have to get Atlanta GA DUI insurance because of one little mistake. How can I save money on this?

A: Even if you are a good driver, having a DUI on your record and being required to buy Atlanta DUI insurance, will automatically send the opposite message to your car insurance company. Even if you got your SR22 requirement for driving without insurance and never committed a single moving violation, it would still have the same effect.

However, if you have confidence in your ability to not run into other cars, then you can save yourself some money by raising the deductible on the extra coverages of your DUI insurance. The less risk you are willing to let lie on your own shoulders, the more you have to pay, so by assuming at least a thousand dollars of risk for each coverage, you will see your rates drop by a whole lot. If you can afford to assume even more risk, even better. I saved a hundred dollars a month, over a thousand dollars a year, by assuming $1500 of risk on my comprehensive and collision insurance.
