Minimum Coverage Requirements in Georgia

Georgia operates under a tort liability system and requires proof of financial responsibility for license reinstatement after suspension. The Georgia Department of Driver Services administers reinstatement and determines whether SR-22 filing is required based on suspension cause. DUI, reckless driving, and certain repeat violations trigger mandatory SR-22 filing for 3 years post-reinstatement.

Liability Insurance
Liability coverage pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Georgia's 25/50/25 minimum covers less than the average bodily injury claim in the state, which runs $35,000–$45,000. Medical costs from even a moderate-speed collision routinely exceed the $25,000 per-person cap, leaving you personally liable for the difference.
SR-22 Insurance
SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files electronically with the Georgia Department of Driver Services proving you carry continuous liability coverage. Georgia requires SR-22 after DUI, reckless driving, accumulating 15 points in 24 months, driving without insurance, or repeat moving violations. The filing itself costs $25–$50, but underlying insurance premiums increase 40–80% due to high-risk classification.
Non-Owner SR-22
Non-owner SR-22 provides liability coverage when you drive vehicles you don't own and satisfies Georgia's SR-22 filing requirement without owning a car. This is the correct policy type if your license is suspended, you sold your vehicle or don't currently own one, and you need to fulfill SR-22 obligations to qualify for reinstatement. Monthly premiums run $35–$75, significantly less than standard owner policies for high-risk drivers.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage pays your medical bills and lost wages when an at-fault driver has no insurance. Georgia law requires insurers to offer UM coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, and it's automatically included unless you reject it in writing. Approximately 12% of Georgia drivers are uninsured, one of the higher rates in the Southeast.
Non-Standard Auto Insurance
Non-standard auto insurance is designed for drivers with suspended licenses, DUI convictions, lapses in coverage, or poor driving records who cannot qualify for standard carrier rates. Georgia non-standard carriers accept higher-risk profiles but charge premiums 50–120% above standard market rates. These policies fulfill all state filing requirements and reinstatement conditions.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Georgia?

Georgia suspended license insurance costs vary based on suspension cause, required filing type, and how long coverage lapsed. DUI-related suspensions with SR-22 filing produce the highest premiums due to mandatory high-risk classification.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Suspension cause: DUI adds 60–90% to base premiums, points-related suspension adds 30–50%, administrative suspension (unpaid fines, child support) adds 20–40%
  • SR-22 filing adds $25–$50 one-time fee plus 40–80% premium increase due to high-risk pool assignment for the 3-year filing period
  • Coverage lapse duration: gaps under 30 days add 15–25% surcharge, gaps over 90 days add 40–60% and may require non-standard placement
  • County rate variation: metro Atlanta counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett) run 20–35% higher than rural Georgia due to claim frequency and uninsured motorist rates
  • Age and violation timing: drivers under 25 with DUI suspension pay 70–110% more than drivers over 30 with identical records
