Posted by on . 4 comments.

my husband got a dui about 3 years ago! it took forever to actually get a court hearing.. and he didn't even loose his lisence till a year ago, now that hes about to get it back, i'm wondering how much extra the insurance will be now... It was his first offense, lowest reading on the breathalizer.. and we live in pa, if that matters...

    Typically, insurance rates will vary from State to State and can even vary by ZIPCODE! It also will depend on the type of car/truck, coverages, limits of liability, and driving record. Some companies run credit scores and MOST run a motor vehicle report and CLUE (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange) report to see about undisclosed accident involvement.

    The best thing to do is call a LOCAL independent agent. Don’t go across town, or to some other city – look for someone CLOSE. Just look in the phone book for the PIA or Big I (Trusted Choice) logos and you will find a professional licensed agent that will be able to help you solve your insurance problems, and give you rate comparisons of several different companies.

    An independent insurance agent will normally have a dozen different companies and if he cannot help you, he should be networked with other local agents that can.

    In my agency, we have companies that do NOT run a credit score and welcome drivers with "less than perfect" driving records and specialize in youthful operators!

    Most of the replies on this site say "go to this on-line carrier or that on-line carrier or that 1-800 number" but I’m sure that when you do, you will find some impersonal computer user with a script to work from and you won’t be able to talk with the same person every time you have a problem!

    Good luck, drive RESPONSIBLY and I hope this helps!

    I think the max is around 1400 a year. But you will soon find out.

    Expect the offense to be registered on his driving record for at least 7-10 years. He will be paying for that Martini for a LONG time. He cannot be considered a good driver, or eligible to receive Good Driver Discounts until that drops off.
