I’m a student and I got convicted for a DUI. Now that I have my license back, I’m supposed to file Texas SR-22 car insurance for two years. I hear it’s really expensive. Is there any way that I can get it to be cheaper?

Thank you for your question, George.

When you’re young, car insurance costs are often very high, especially while you are a college student and it is harder than usual to afford the Texas SR-22 car insurance rates. These high premiums might have you eating ramen more often than usual if you don’t step up and do everything that you can to get them to be lower. Lucky for you, being in Texas you only have to file SR-22 car insurance for two years, whereas in most places it’s between three and five years.

Over the next two years, though, I would pay close attention to my grades if I were you. The reason I say this is because the greatest car insurance discount you can get as a student is the good student discount, which most companies offer and which awards students who have a B average or above or a 3.5 GPA or above with a car insurance discount. I applied this to my own car insurance premium and receive fifteen percent off. When you are paying so much for Texas Sr-22 car insurance, such a discount can save a lot.
