Washington SR22 Auto Insurance Rates
Reader question:
What are Washington SR22 rates like these days?
Amber
Thanks for asking, Amber.
WA SR22 rates are pretty median compared to the rest of the states, coming in with the 19th highest rates, followed closely by Florida and Pennsylvania. The average rates for car insurance in Washington are around $803 a year, but of course, SR22 rates will tend to e twice–or in some very bad cases, even three times–that amount.
This isn’t to say that the best SR22 rates are going to be $1600. It’s likely that if you get such a price, then you aren’t looking hard enough. Sure, that may be the average price, but it’s also the average price which is quoted to the average person who does not shop for theit auto insurance online–unlike you.
Such average people pay a lot of money for their laziness–an estimated $400 on average for their premiums. They pay so much for their premiums simply because of the fact that they aren’t shopping around for their auto insurance quotes. When you pull up your SR22 rates online from several different companies, you can see the wide variances and make a better choice than the average Joe.

SR22 Auto Insurance Quotes in Washington
Reader question:
I have a policy with SR22 in Washington, and I want to know, is the post-accident procedure any different for SR22 holders? Is there some kind of extra information we need to give?

Thanks for asking, Marcus.
No other driver (civilian driver, anyhow) has a right to know about your possession of an SR22 in Washington, and your owning of such should not in any way be involved when you get into a car accident. You just exchange the usual information, such as names, policy numbers, phone numbers, car insurance company names, and so on, so that whoever needs to file a claim with the other’s company can do so, and so that whoever is at fault can get prepared.
In addition to that, whether you have an SR22 in Washington or not, you should also take a couple of other steps after an accident to make sure of the best (or least negative) experience with your claims process. Keep a disposable camera stored in your glove compartment, and when you get in an accident make sure to take pictures of the damage on both cars. This is so that the other driver can’t claim more damage than was actually caused, thus getting you in trouble and in fraud.
You should also look at the witnesses who were around the accident and try to gather their names and phone numbers. In case the fault of the accident is contested, you will be able to refer to them for proof.

Vancouver Washington SR22 Auto Insurance Quotes
Q: Since I’m required to have a Vancouver SR22 car insurance policy, aren’t companies supposed to sell one to me? Because I can’t find one.
A: No car insurance company is required to sell you insurance when you pose so much risk, as all holders of SR22 policies do. While car insurance companies aren’t able to discriminate based on unrelated reasons, such as the color of your skin or your religion, they are able o discriminate based on how much risk you pose, or, in other terms, how many claims people in your demographic are likely to file.
If you have trouble finding someone to get your policy from, you should try higher priced companies which sell to people with expensive cars and other high risk types. It’s easier to get a policy from one of these, although not certain, and it’s also cheaper than the other alternative.
If you can’t find a way in that way, then instead you can get a policy by joining up with your state assigned-risk pool, where the Department of Insurance will randomly hand you over to a car insurance company, which will have to insure you (at a very high price) even if they already denied you when you went there on your own.
