Get coverage—even with violations, accidents, or DUI

What Is High-Risk Car Insurance?

High-risk insurance is for drivers with a history of violations, license suspensions, DUI/DWI, or accidents. Insurers consider these drivers more likely to file claims, which can increase premiums.

Why You Might Be Considered High-Risk

DUI or DWI

Driving under the influence almost always qualifies you as high-risk.

Multiple Accidents

At-fault collisions in recent years raise your risk profile.

Lapsed Coverage

If you’ve been uninsured, insurers may treat you as a higher risk.

You Still Have Options

Even if you’re considered high-risk, many companies specialize in helping drivers like you. Get multiple quotes, compare, and save.
