What’s the Best Way to Obtain Auto Insurance After a Suspended License Due to DUI?
June 10, 2017
Obtaining auto insurance following a DUI and/or license suspension is not a lot different than for anyone seeking to insure a vehicle.
Though your choice of programs and carriers may be limited, there are plenty of insurance companies that will step in and help.
The best way to go about it would allow you to:
- Get multiple quotes with minimal effort
- Find the best coverage and protection
- Select the best value from the options available to you.
Working with an Independent Insurance Agent provides the ability to do all the above with one call or visit.
How do you find a good local Independent Insurance Agent ? A simple search using the Trusted Choice Agent Locator is a great place to start.
Ask your agent if you can be requoted at your next renewal. After maintaining continuous insurance and keeping your driving record clean, you may be able to find much more affordable programs with a little bit of time on your side. The ability to requote (remarket) your insurance program is another reason that working closely with an Independent Insurance Agent can be in your best interest.

Many don’t realize that the insurance industry is one of the country's most regulated business segments, especially in New York State. The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYS DFS) wields significant control over the insurance business and has a stated goal of protecting consumers.
Most property insurance companies offer Actual Cash Value or Replacement Cost settlement options. Typically, insurance companies will require that you insure the property to the settlement value you choose. If you select Actual Cash Value, the amount you may be required to insure the property for will be less than the corresponding Replacement Value.

Today, an individual’s credit history can play a more significant role than any one of those traditional factors. Good Credit Scores lead to a Positive Insurance score. A good Insurance Score greatly influences what someone will pay to insure their vehicles.
Insurance companies offer various discounts for which their policyholders may qualify.
Great Eight number Six (6) suggests taking a look at removing Comprehensive and Collision on Older Vehicles.
By reducing the number of claims in your insurance history, you can significantly affect your rates in the future.
Sometimes, this concept meets with resistance from policyholders. The thought of paying more in the event of a claim is off-putting to some. Even if that means I pay more for my insurance.
OK. Admittedly, this strategy doesn't benefit everyone, but it can be very beneficial for those it does. You may have unique home or auto insurance needs that prevent you from bundling with the same company. Alternatively… you might have a better rate without the bundle discount by splitting up your insurance between multiple carriers.
