Hi Alyssa. In the state of Arizona, AZ SR22 insurance is available for drivers through getting an insurance policy that has minimum amount of liability coverage. The SR22 insurance offers the same coverage being provided by the regular car insurance. It is in fact a form or a document used to prove that a particular driver meets the minimum required liability insurance coverage.

The only difference between the two is that once your insurance provider issues you AZ SR22, your insurer will automatically contact the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division if you cancel the SR22 policy, the policy lapses, or you have removed a vehicle from your policy. The essence of getting SR22 is for Arizona Motor Vehicle Division to keep tract on the car insurance status of a particular driver in order to protect motorists from high risk drivers.

So if your boyfriend needs AZ SR22, all he needs to do is to inform his insurance provider that he needs one so he could get the proper paperwork that he can present to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division. In most cases, drivers need to maintain SR22 insurance for a period of three years, depending on the severity of their offense.

If his company does not offer cheap SR22 insurance, then it is best to shop around. He can get multiple quotes online by just filling up the online form just like you see above this page. You will get multiple quotes from various car insurance companies and all he has to do is to compare and choose which quotes will best suit his car insurance needs.

Keep in mind that car insurance for young drivers like your son is normally more expensive. Car insurers typically rate young drivers as high risk drivers, meaning they are subjected to car insurance premiums. Young drivers are more prone to making mistakes while driving, and statistics back this up. So your son may have difficulty in getting cheap car insurance Arizona.

However, if your son follows these tips, then he has a better chance of getting cheap car insurance Arizona. First, he should join a defensive driving course. He will learn how to be more responsible and skilled when behind the driving wheel, making him appear a low risk driver compared to other young drivers.

Your son should also have a smaller car like a Honda Jazz. Do not give him a sports car or SUV if you want him to get a cheap car insurance Arizona. Car insurers regard SUVs and sports cars as high risk vehicles, and young drivers driving them are considered recipe for car collisions and vehicular accidents.

My daughter wants to purchase a car, can we insure it in our policy in a New Jersey? Or should we remove her from our existing policy as an authorized driver?

Carol

Thank you for asking Carol.

If your daughter bought a car in Arizona, I do not think your New Jersey policy will cover her. Arizona requires that every motor vehicle operating on their public roads be covered by one of the statutory forms of financial responsibility through a carrier that is authorized to do business in the state of Arizona. Arizona law requires minimum liability coverage of $15,000/$30,000 for bodily injury liability and $10,000 for property damage liability. As for removing her name from your current Illinois policy, you will need to contact your insurance company to discuss this option.

Goodluck!

What is the coverage of the uninsured motorist insurance? I live in Arizona.

Freeman

Thank you for asking.

The Arizona Department of Insurance states that Uninsured Motorist coverage protects you or passengers in your vehicle for bodily injury you or your passengers sustain in an accident involving a driver who has no liability coverage.

This may also protects you or passengers in your vehicle for bodily injury you or your passengers sustain in an accident involving a driver who has insufficient insurance to cover your injuries or your passengers.

Uninsured motorist coverage (or UM) provides coverage for your medical bills, loss of earnings and pain and suffering if you suffer injuries as a result of a negligent drivers who does not have liability insurance, including a hit-and-run motorist. Underinsured motorist coverage (or UIM) provides coverage situation that your damages exceed the other driver’s liability coverage.

Goodluck!

I was hit by uninsured driver and I have a liability coverage on my car and uninsured motorist coverage. Will this cover the damage to my car?

George

Thank you for asking George.

In Arizona, uninsured motorist is for bodily damages. Typically an uninsured motorist (UMBI) in Arizona policy will typically pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by an uninsured motorist, hit and run driver or a miss and run driver.

In addition to that, uninsured motorist will pay for these coverages to you, and/or your family members who live with you and passengers in your car. The damages to your vehicle or other property will not be covered by this . You would need collision coverage on your car to get your property damage covered by your insurance provider.

Uninsured motorist property damage is not available in all states with including the state of Arizona. Only UM bodily injury is available so this must be the type of coverage that you have.

Goodluck!
