Normally, you would see an increase in your auto insurance premiums because of having a DUI conviction in Boca Ciega, Florida. Having driven a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol puts you now into a high risk class of motorists.

The actual amount that an insurance premium increase because of having a DUI and/or needing an SR22 coverage would depend upon the company that you are dealing with and their rating system. You could also lose your discounts that you already had previously on the auto insurance policy which helped to lower your rates, such as a safe driver discount.

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and some state insurance regulators give information on the average insurance increase for a DUI conviction.
