Yes, you can. If you plan to remove insurance from a car you intend to store, two things are essential.

1. Take the car off the street.

Just like cell phone and cable contracts, insurance companies charge an early termination fee. For example, if you paid $600 for a six-month contract and decide to cancel at, let’s say, the three-month mark, you’d expect to get $300 back. Most companies will retain a portion of the prorated refund.

If you requested an auto insurance quote from us, you also just asked for SR22 insurance! There is no difference between SR22 insurance and a regular auto insurance policy.

The length of time you are required to carry SR22 depends on what caused the requirement. In most cases, you have to keep a valid SR22 on file for three years from the date of conviction of a DUI or driving without insurance. However, that time can be shortened if you got a DUI but are allowed to enter the diversion program. That usually requires about three months to provide the filing.
