If you are charged with a DUI how does it affect your auto insurance?

Answer

It depends on the insurance company. Despite popular controversy there is no guarentee of what exactly will happen.

When it's time to renew your policy, the rates may be considerably higher and in some cases could be cancelled. Some companies will still insure you as long as you provide an SR-22 certificate of financial responsibility.

Others will at minimum report this to their (ins companies) network which could cause problems for you later down the line.

When you get your license back, if your policy has been cancelled go to www.progressive.com as they specialize in high risk drivers. I also know a few more second chance companies. E-mail me if you need more help.
