Reader’s Question:
I have an SR22 insurance in Ohio. I am planning to buy a car loan for a used car and I would like to know if this SR22 insurance is enough? Can I also have physical damage liability along with my SR22 insurance if I am going to buy a new car?

The SR22 insurance certificate that you have in Ohio is a state liability and most lien holders would require that you have physical damage liability of collision and comprehensive coverage if you have a loan or lease on the vehicle, regardless if the vehicle that you are trying to purchase is new or used.
I suggest that you speak with your car insurance company in Hamilton, Ohio if you could carry physical damage liability of collision and comprehensive that is being required by the lien holder along with your SR22 insurance that you currently have. I believe that you would be able to acquire the physical damage liability and SR22 insurance to satisfy what the lien holder and the state requires you to have.
You can always shop around for car insurance company if your current insurance carrier will not allow you to have both.

Thank you for asking Ryan.
Sr22 is also sometimes called bond insurance. In other states it is surety bond or deposit. An SR22 policy is a filing made by an insurance provider to your home state to show proof that you have at least the state minimum required amount of liability. It is required for verification to the state regarding your financial responsibility when you drive a vehicle after getting convicted for a DUI / DWI or driving without insurance.
Most states permit at least one of the following to be used as financial responsibility:
* car insurance policy.
* A surety bond issued by any authorized insurance company.
* A State Motor Vehicle Department bond
* A State Motor Vehicle Department certificate for money or government bonds
* A certificate of proof of financial responsibility or sr22
Some states does not allow bonds for car insurance. It is used typically to show proof of financial responsibility and meet the required insurance of the state. You may check with the Ohio institution to verify this information.
I dont think that this is what you need for coverage on your car and the vehicles you drive for work. You may speak with your car insurance agents in Ohio on their suggestion about your situation .You can check with the dealership to check if you have been listed to their business policy and if that covers you.
Goodluck!

Thank you for asking James.
It looks like that you are being required in Ohio to get a proof of financial responsibility or SR-22 so you may be able to reinstate your drivers license but do not own a vehicle. In this kind of situation, you will be needing a non owners sr-22.
The SR-24 was a form originally was for a notice of change of vehicle regarding a car listed on a car insurance policy with a SR-22. The use of the SR24 in recent years has disappeared almost. A replacement SR22 is generally utilized, the state needs to be notifies on the change in the vehicle.
If you are not required to carry an SR-22 but needing to have a car insurance insurance to be able to get a driver’s license in Ohio, you should then obtain a non-owners policy since you do not own a vehicle or has any intention of purchasing one in the near future.
You may contact the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and/or the OH Department of Insurance to get more information on sr-24 or sr-22.
Goodluck!
