I have an SR22 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.

My friend received a DUI and wants to get her license back. She said that she needs to get an SR22 insurance. We are just wondering how he can get an SR22 insurance if she does not have a car? She lives in Ohio.

Your friend will need to get an SR22 non owners insurance if she does not have a car in her household.

If the state of Ohio requires an SR22 auto insurance certificate to have her drivers license reinstated, she will need to get this and maintain it even if she does not have a car. Normally if you own a vehicle you acquire the required liability coverages and SR22 filing on the automobile(s) you own. If your friend does not own a vehicle then you acquire a non-owners policy which is still the required coverages plus she needs to get the SR-22 filed with the state of Ohio as mandated there is just no vehicle to list on the policy.

An SR22 non-owners insurance generally permits the named insure to drive any car that they are given permission to operate by the automobile owner, unless the car is owned by a household member.
