An SR-22 is not a type of insurance — it is a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurance carrier files with California on your behalf. It confirms you carry at least the state's minimum liability limits: $15,000 per person / $30,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $5,000 for property damage. California Vehicle Code §16028(a) requires every driver to maintain proof of financial responsibility at all times.
After a DUI conviction, the Department of Motor Vehicles suspends your driver's license until an SR-22 is on file. You cannot legally reinstate your driving privilege without it. The requirement follows you, not your car — even if your vehicle was totaled, the SR-22 is still required to restore your license.
We do not have a physical office in Modesto. Our nearest location is our Stockton office at 956 W. Robinhood Dr — roughly 30 miles north via CA-99, a 30-to-40-minute drive. We are open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm.
Many Modesto drivers make the trip to Stockton the same day because it is the fastest way to get the SR-22 filed and the license reinstated. If the drive is not possible:
Note: signatures and payment must be completed before we can file the SR-22 with the state, so remote customers typically sign electronically or stop in to finalize.
A DUI adds a surcharge on top of your base premium — but the surcharge varies significantly by carrier. Across our three California offices, our book averages $766 per six-month term (median $558), and those rates dropped 8.8% year-over-year even with DUI policies in the mix. For a Modesto driver with a single DUI conviction, the realistic range runs roughly $900–$1,400 per six-month term depending on vehicle, age, and prior record.
The single most effective way to keep your SR-22 premium near the low end is quoting multiple carriers in one session — not calling one company, getting a number, and stopping there.
One distinction that surprises many drivers: the SR-22 filing fee itself is typically $25–$35 one-time. The number people react to is the higher premium, not the certificate fee. That premium increase is real, but it comes back down after your record clears — usually after the three-year requirement period ends.
No broker fees on standard policies at our Stockton and San Jose offices — the rate you're quoted is the carrier's published rate, not marked up.

Call 209-670-1556 Get a Quote OnlineCalifornia requires a minimum of three years of continuous SR-22 coverage following most DUI convictions. That clock starts from the date your license is reinstated — not the conviction date. If your license was suspended for six months before you reinstated, the three-year requirement begins after reinstatement, not from when you were convicted.
The requirement may be longer for repeat DUI offenses or cases involving injury. Your attorney or the court paperwork will state the exact duration applicable to your situation.
If your policy cancels for any reason — a missed payment, a non-renewal, or switching carriers without getting a new SR-22 in place first — your carrier is required to file an SR-26 cancellation notice with the state. Your license goes back on suspension immediately, and depending on the circumstances, your three-year clock can restart from zero.
This makes payment continuity more critical with an SR-22 than with a standard policy. If a payment is going to be tight, call us before you miss it (209-670-1556) — carriers sometimes have options that are not available after the fact.
No — we do not have a Modesto location. We serve Modesto drivers from our Stockton office at 956 W. Robinhood Dr (Mon–Fri 10am–6pm), approximately 30 miles north via CA-99. We can also handle quotes and initial paperwork by phone and WhatsApp at 209-670-1556. Signatures and payment must be completed before the SR-22 is filed, so most customers either stop in at Stockton or sign electronically and finalize remotely.
Across our three California offices we have quoted over 7,116 six-month auto terms with an average of $766 per term and a median of $558. For a Modesto driver with a single DUI, expect roughly $900–$1,400 per six-month term. The range is wide because carriers price DUI risk very differently — quoting multiple carriers the same day is how you avoid the high end.
Yes. Several carriers in our network write auto policies — including SR-22 filings — for drivers with an AB 60 license and an ITIN or no Social Security number. The filing process is identical; what matters is that the policy meets California's minimum liability requirements and the carrier agrees to file on your behalf. We work with carriers who specifically accommodate this profile.
Yes — the requirement is attached to your driver's license, not your vehicle. A non-owner SR-22 policy covers you when driving vehicles you do not own and satisfies the state requirement at a lower premium because there is no collision or comprehensive component. We write non-owner SR-22 policies; call 209-670-1556 for a quote.
