Minimum Coverage Requirements in Indiana

After a DUI, license suspension, or serious traffic violation in Indiana, your current auto insurance carrier will typically send a non-renewal notice—meaning your policy will end at the next renewal date, not immediately. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles will typically require you to file SR-22 proof of insurance before reinstating your license. You must maintain this filing continuously for 3 to 5 years depending on your offense, and any coverage lapse during that period restarts the clock.

SR-22 Liability Insurance

SR-22 is not a type of insurance—it is a certificate your insurer files with the state proving you carry at least the minimum required liability coverage. Not all carriers offer SR-22 filings; you will typically need to purchase coverage from a non-standard or high-risk insurer who specializes in violation drivers.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard auto insurance is coverage sold by carriers that specialize in high-risk drivers—those with DUIs, violations, lapses, or suspensions on their record. These policies cost significantly more than standard coverage but provide the legally required proof of financial responsibility.

High-Risk Auto Insurance

High-risk auto insurance is the broad category covering drivers classified as higher liability by insurers. In Indiana, a DUI conviction or license suspension typically moves you into this category for 3 to 5 years, limiting your carrier options and significantly increasing your premium regardless of your age or driving history prior to the violation.

Liability-Only Coverage

Most violation drivers in Indiana start with liability-only coverage to meet state minimums and minimize premium cost.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type—DUI increases rates more than a suspended license for points
  • Time since violation—rates drop significantly after 3 years with no new offenses
  • Prior insurance history—a lapse in coverage before your violation compounds the rate increase
  • Age and driving history before the violation—senior drivers with otherwise clean records may see smaller increases than younger drivers
  • Carrier availability—fewer insurers offer SR-22 filings in Indiana, limiting competition and increasing cost
