Minimum Coverage Requirements in Indiana

Drivers with DUI convictions, multiple violations, at-fault accidents while uninsured, or license suspensions typically must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility. The SR-22 filing requirement usually lasts 3 years from the date of conviction or reinstatement, and any lapse in coverage during that period restarts the clock.

Liability Insurance

Indiana's 25/50/25 minimums are among the lowest in the nation and often insufficient after a serious accident. High-risk drivers should consider at least 50/100/50 or 100/300/100 limits, as judgment-proof protection becomes critical when one accident can trigger both SR-22 filing and personal liability.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy but a certificate filed by your insurer with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles confirming you carry at least minimum liability coverage. Most major carriers either refuse SR-22 policies or surcharge them heavily, pushing drivers to non-standard insurers.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers and are often the only option after DUI, multiple violations, or lapses with SR-22 requirements. In Indiana, non-standard policies often require upfront payment or shorter payment terms, and some carriers impose hard mileage limits or vehicle age restrictions.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Indiana requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, though drivers can reject it in writing. High-risk drivers with SR-22 requirements are statistically more likely to be involved in accidents with uninsured drivers, making UM/UIM coverage a practical hedge even when budget-constrained.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, collision, and comprehensive and is required by lenders if you finance or lease a vehicle.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Carrier availability: many standard carriers do not write SR-22 policies in Indiana, limiting options to non-standard insurers with less competitive pricing
  • Time since violation: rates decline gradually each year without new incidents, with steepest drops occurring 3–5 years post-violation when SR-22 requirements end
