Insurance Basics
Connecticut requires SR-22 filings after a DUI, repeated suspensions, or driving uninsured. SR-22 insurance in CT averages $448/month after a first DUI — about 2.7× the standard rate — and must stay in force for the entire 3-year monitoring period. This guide walks through every step: who needs SR-22 in CT, how to file with the DMV, the cheapest carriers (The General, Bristol West, Progressive), non-owner SR-22 policies, and how to drop your filing on time without triggering an automatic suspension.
