What Is High-Risk Auto Insurance?
Many people have less than perfect driving records. High-risk insurance, or "Non-Standard" insurance, refers to an auto insurance policy that is given to a high-risk driver. The General® specializes in providing car insurance for high-risk drivers.
More people are categorized as high-risk today than a decade ago; as a result, high-risk auto insurance is much more common.
How do you know if you’re considered a “high-risk” driver?
There are several different ways to determine if you’re in need of high-risk auto insurance:
If you've had your license suspended or revoked and require an SR-22 policy for reinstatement.
The Registry of Motor Vehicles in your state will notify you if you require an SR-22 policy. The General can help you acquire the proper documentation for reinstatement online within minutes.
If you are 70 years old or older.
While some insurers view you as "high risk," The General views you as an experienced driver who deserves an affordable auto insurance policy.
If you are 20 years old or younger.
Again, while other insurers view you as "high-risk," The General believes you deserve a fair auto insurance quote, so we'll work to customize a policy that fits your insurance needs and your budget. We pride ourselves on making high-risk auto insurance painless and easy.
If you have a history of auto accidents or violations.
Other insurers may try to keep you off the road, but The General can give most drivers an auto insurance policy that will keep them insured. We may even offer you discount points over time for keeping a clean record and being a cautious driver.

Car Insurance for Drivers with Bad Records
If you've been involved in prior traffic accidents, have a history of traffic violations, or been convicted of a DUI/DWI, insurance companies often label you as a “bad driver” and make it very difficult for you to secure affordable high-risk auto insurance.

The General Says “Yes” When Others Say “No”
In the past, high-risk auto insurance was difficult to come by and usually so costly that few drivers could afford it. Luckily, The General has helped countless drivers secure affordable high-risk auto insurance. We offer policies to non-standard customers with the same flexible rate plans and outstanding customer service that standard customers receive.
If you've had trouble purchasing high-risk car insurance from other providers, give us a try. Not all insurance companies offer policies to all drivers, but our business is built on giving our customers the coverage they need — even if they have less than perfect driving records, policy lapses, or no prior coverage.
Insurance companies are not required to cover all applicants and therefore many choose not to. In fact, some insurance companies only accept drivers who have been previously insured, are over age 25, under age 70, and have perfect driving records.
But there are millions of us who don't fall into those categories. This is why The General specializes in providing affordable auto insurance to drivers who:
- Have never been insured
- Have had a lapse in their prior coverage
- Have had accidents and/or violations in the past
- Are considered high-risk drivers
We provide affordable high-risk insurance coverage by quoting and selling auto insurance online. Our expenses are lower, so we can afford to pass the savings on to you in the form of low-down payments and low premiums.
