Car Insurance After A DUI

Getting car insurance after a DUI often means paying higher auto insurance premiums. A DUI will stay on your insurance record for three to five years depending on where you live, and the more offenses you accumulate the worse the impact on your car insurance rates. Your car insurance after a DUI conviction may not go up at all if it's a one-time thing, but you can expect your car insurance after a DUI accident or conviction to increase in most circumstances. Your auto insurance company may not give you insurance at all if you have too many violations or the violations are especially severe.
