Galt sits on State Route 99 at the southern edge of Sacramento County, so a DUI arrest here usually brings two things at once: a Sacramento County court case and a DMV suspension notice, and the DMV will want an SR-22 on file before most drivers can drive again. We set up the policy and the SR-22 by phone at 209-670-1556. There is no Via Rapida office in Galt; the closest is Insurance City in Stockton, 956 W. Robinhood Dr, about 21 miles south on CA-99.

The DMV's own forms call it a California Insurance Proof Certificate (SR 22/SR 1P). It is not a type of policy. It is the notice your insurer sends to the DMV saying a liability policy is in force for you, and DMV form DL 300 provides for the insurance company to transmit the certificate electronically. The policy behind it must meet California's minimum limits, which DL 300 lists as $30,000 for injury or death of one person, $60,000 for injury or death of more than one person, and $15,000 for property damage per collision (see Vehicle Code §16056).
So the shopping is for an ordinary auto policy, owner or non-owner, from a carrier willing to write a driver with a DUI on the record. That carrier files the SR 22. What you pay is the price of the policy; the certificate is paperwork attached to it.
Who makes the stop depends on where it happens. Inside city limits, the Galt Police Department at 455 Industrial Drive patrols city streets. On the freeway, the CHP South Sacramento Area office (6 Massie Court, Sacramento) patrols State Route 99 and the south county area. The DMV process afterward is the same either way. According to the DMV's DUI page and its first-offender flyer DL 1046 A (rev. 2/2019):
That is why the SR 22 often comes up well before the court case is finished: a restricted-license application at the DMV needs it on file.
Galt is one of the seven incorporated cities in Sacramento County, so a DUI charge from Galt goes to the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento. The court's traffic citation page says DUI cases are handled at the Gordon D. Schaber Sacramento County Courthouse, 720 9th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, about 27 miles north of Galt on CA-99. The court's locations page lists criminal hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding court holidays.
The same citation page notes that some other alcohol-related charges may be handled at the Carol Miller Justice Center, 301 Bicentennial Circle, Sacramento, CA 95826, which keeps business hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and is closed Fridays. The courthouse, date and department printed on your citation or notice to appear are the ones that apply to you.
The court handles fines, probation and the DUI program order; the DMV handles the suspension and the SR 22 requirement. We work only on the insurance side. For advice on the charge itself, speak with a criminal defense attorney.
We have no Galt storefront. Our closest office is Insurance City in Stockton, 956 W. Robinhood Dr, roughly 21 miles south of Galt City Hall by CA-99, open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm. Most Galt files never need the drive:

What Via Rapida auto customers across California paid us over the 12 months to Oct 26, 2026 (source: our own policy records; statewide, since we do not publish a separate Galt figure), not a quote: liability-only median $112/month (middle half $82–$154, n=6,455); full coverage median $285/month (middle half $216–$380, n=1,731). These figures cover all our auto customers, not only drivers with a DUI or SR-22; we do not publish a DUI-only figure because our records do not flag it.
Inside that spread, the record does most of the work: how recent the DUI is, whether a collision was involved, and whether you need full coverage on a financed car or a non-owner policy because the car is gone. Your Galt garaging ZIP, 95632, goes into every quote as well.

Road miles are measured from Galt City Hall at 380 Civic Drive. Book ahead at dmv.ca.gov/portal/appointments; the DMV flyer recommends an appointment for restricted-license visits. You do not carry the SR 22 to the counter, because the insurer transmits it. You go for the license transaction itself.
The conviction side of the DMV first-offender flyer says full reinstatement means serving the suspension or restriction, proving you completed a DUI program, and providing proof of insurance (SR 22), and that you will be required to maintain the SR 22 for 3 years. DMV form DL 300 adds two details: proof usually stays on file for three years from the first date you file insurance to end the action, and if the insurance is canceled for any reason while the requirement is in effect, you are subject to suspension until a new certificate is filed.
Where that matters for a Galt driver:
AB 60 licenses are issued under Vehicle Code §12801.9, and the SR 22 steps above work the same way for them. Several carriers we place with will write the policy and file the SR 22 for a driver using an ITIN or without a Social Security number; the minimum limits and the DMV process do not change.

| Policy | Pick it when | What it insures |
|---|---|---|
| Owner policy with SR 22 | A car is registered to you or kept at your Galt address | The listed car, with you as a driver |
| Non-owner policy with SR 22 | You have no car but still need the SR 22 to get licensed again | Your liability when you drive a car that is not yours |
A non-owner policy is liability coverage only, with no physical-damage coverage for a vehicle, which is why it is usually the smaller premium of the two. It still satisfies the SR 22 requirement. Read more: Non-Owner SR-22 in California ›

Several carriers we work with write SR-22 policies for AB 60 license holders who use an ITIN or have no Social Security number. The policy still has to carry California's 30/60/15 minimum limits, and the carrier sends the SR-22 to the DMV the same way it does for any other driver.
