Minimum Coverage Requirements in Kansas
Kansas requires liability minimums of 25/50/25: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. SR-22 filing is typically mandated for DUI convictions, driving without insurance, at-fault accidents while uninsured, license suspensions for accumulating points, and repeat moving violations. The filing requirement typically lasts 3 years from the date the Kansas Department of Revenue reinstates your driving privileges. When your SR-22 period ends, Kansas does not automatically notify you — you must verify the end date with the Kansas Department of Revenue and request proof of completion before shopping for new coverage.
How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Kansas?
Post-SR22 insurance rates in Kansas start significantly lower than non-standard SR-22 premiums and continue dropping as your violation ages. Drivers completing their SR-22 requirement typically pay $120–$180/mo for liability-only coverage and $180–$280/mo for full coverage during the first 12 months after filing ends. Rates drop 20–35% in year two and approach clean-record pricing 3–5 years post-requirement, depending on violation type and carrier.

- Type of original violation — DUI impacts last 5–7 years; uninsured accidents typically 3–5 years
