High Risk Insurance With SR22 – What Does It Cover?
Reader’s Question:
One of the employees had to obtain SR 22 insurance personally. We had to get a separate high risk insurance policy for her to be able to drive one of our company cars in Chicago IL. So, does her SR22 insurance policy cover her to drive any car including a company car?

Generally, your employee’s insurance policy covers her when she drives other cars but as excess or secondary to the owner’s auto insurance. If her insurance would extend as secondary insurance to a company vehicle or work car would depend upon the terms and guidelines of her insurance policy and the guidelines of his insurance company.
The SR-22 insurance which is attached to her insurance is not a type of insurance but a form or certificate that the state is requiring him to have filed to prove that she is carrying the insurance on her that the state required. Typically this insurance is the state’s required liability car insurance.
Your employee can check from her insurance broker or agent to verify if her personal insurance policy would cover the company car but keep in mind that the company’s high risk insurance policy in Chicago will be primary and needs to stay on the company vehicle so that it will be properly covered.
