What Is High-Risk Auto Insurance Insurance?

High-risk auto insurance is not a separate coverage type. It's the same liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage every Kansas driver buys, but underwritten and priced for drivers the industry labels high-risk: those with DUIs, suspended licenses, multiple at-fault accidents, lapses in coverage, or excessive points. The coverage itself functions identically to standard auto insurance. The difference is which carriers will sell to you and what they charge.

Who Needs High-Risk Auto Insurance Insurance?

You need high-risk auto insurance if standard carriers have declined or non-renewed your policy due to violations, accidents, or lapses, and you are legally required to carry insurance in Kansas. If your license is suspended and the state requires SR-22 filing for reinstatement, a high-risk or non-standard carrier is your only option to satisfy that requirement. If you own a vehicle or drive regularly, maintaining continuous high-risk coverage prevents further lapses that reset your rate clock.

Check your reinstatement letter or contact the Kansas Department of Revenue to confirm whether SR-22 filing is required for your specific suspension type. If SR-22 is required, you must buy at least minimum liability coverage from a carrier authorized to file SR-22 in Kansas. If you do not own a vehicle, buy non-owner SR-22 coverage. If you own a vehicle, buy a standard policy with SR-22 attached. If SR-22 is not required and you are not driving, you can wait until reinstatement to buy coverage. Maintaining coverage without lapses is the fastest way to return to standard rates after your violation period ends.

How Much Does High-Risk Auto Insurance Insurance Cost?

  • Time since violation: Rates drop significantly 3-5 years after a DUI or major violation as it ages off your driving record.
