What FR-44 insurance means in Virginia
Virginia is one of only two states that use an FR-44 filing. A DUI or other serious alcohol-related conviction triggers it, and the liability limits are twice the state's normal minimums.
- Virginia standard minimum: 50/100/25
- Virginia FR-44 after a DUI: 100/300/50 bodily injury and property damage
- Filing term: 3 continuous years from reinstatement
Why FR-44 quotes vary so much
Most standard insurers decline DUI records. The carriers that do write them price the risk very differently, so the same driver can see a wide spread for the same FR-44 policy. Comparing specialist carriers is the fastest way to a lower payment.
Getting your Virginia license reinstated
Once the policy is issued we transmit the FR-44 electronically, so the Virginia DMV sees it without you carrying paperwork to an office. See the full Virginia FR-44 requirements or check Virginia hardship license rules if you need to drive before reinstatement.
