If you have been involved in an auto accident in which you were convicted of driving under the influence or if you failed to show insurance to cover your liability in the accident you will need to show proof of financial responsibility to the Arizona Motor Vehicles Department in order to register your car.

Your Arizona Auto Insurance company will file a sr22 form with the MVD and in doing so agrees to notify them if your policy is cancelled by you or them. When you fail to have your insurance on file you will lose your vehicle registration and car tags.Arizona Auto Insurance law does not set the rates for your sr22 covered insurance. This is an agreement between you and your insurance company.

As with any other consumer item it often pays to shop around for the best rates. There many insurance companies that are permitted to sell insurance in Arizona. it is a very competitive market and rates change from time to time depending upon the competition. Shop for your best sr22 rate before you buy your first one and then shop around each time your policy is coming up for renewal.

Do not be lulled into just renewing your policy each year without checking.
