Progressive auto insurance has a lot of valuable information on SR-22 insurance on their website.  They point out that they can help if the court happens to order to you carry this type of insurance for high-risk drivers.

You may be asked to carry the SR-22 for numerous reasons including driving without insurance, DUI, at fault accidents while driving without insurance, repeat traffic offenses, too many tickets in a short period of time, revoked license or other serious moving violations. 

Progressive will file the SR-22 insurance form with your state’s DMV for you.  Once this has been done you generally can begin to drive legally.  Since SR-22’s are state specific there are variances from one state to another.  It’s important to ensure you understand what your state requires of you.  There are also special requirements if you move to another state in the midst of needing SR-22 insurance.  Many auto insurance companies, including Progressive, can help answer your SR-22 questions and fulfill your auto insurance needs.

Diane Levick in the Hartford Courant reports that Travelers Auto Insurance is expanding into the direct-to-consumer sales market. Unlike many major auto insurance companies, Travelers has solely relied on independent insurance agents until now. However, with an increasing amount of policies sold directly (two-thirds as of 2007), the company has joined firms such as Progressive Auto Insurance and Hartford Auto Insurance in selling through both avenues.

Currently, the Travelers auto insurance quotes available online or over the phone will be identical to those available through agents, though the insurer reserves the right to change those rates in either direction.
