Thank you for asking Lisa.

You will probably see an your auto insurance rates go up because of a DUI conviction on your driving record. Driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs generally puts you now into a high risk class of motorist.

How much the amount of an insurance rate increase because of DUI and/or needing an SR-22 (certificate of financial responsibility) will all depend upon the insurance provider that you are dealing with and their rating system.

Some state insurance regulators and department of motor vehicles provide information on the average insurance increase for a DUI conviction. You may contact them or your insurance company to know the about this specific information.

Goodluck!
