Minimum Coverage Requirements in Maryland
Maryland operates under a traditional tort liability system—the at-fault driver pays. The state requires continuous liability coverage and proof of insurance at all times. Non-owner SR-22 policies satisfy filing requirements for suspended drivers without vehicles, providing the state-mandated liability minimums when you drive someone else's car with permission.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need SR-22 filing in Maryland?
Maryland typically requires SR-22 filing for 3 years after DUI, driving on a suspended license, or accumulating 8+ points within 2 years. The filing period starts from your conviction date or MVA order date, not from when you purchase the policy. If your policy lapses at any point during the 3 years, the MVA suspends your license again and restarts the clock.
What does non-owner SR-22 insurance cover in Maryland?
Non-owner SR-22 provides liability coverage—30/60/15 minimums or higher—when you drive someone else's vehicle with permission. It pays medical bills and property damage you cause in at-fault accidents. It does not cover any vehicle you own, lease, or live with, and it does not provide comprehensive or collision coverage for the borrowed vehicle.
What happens if I buy a car while I have non-owner SR-22 in Maryland?
You must convert to an owner SR-22 policy within 30 days of acquiring the vehicle or your non-owner policy won't cover accidents in the vehicle you own. Contact your carrier immediately when you buy, lease, or are gifted a vehicle. The carrier will issue a new policy with the vehicle listed and file an updated SR-22 with the MVA. Premiums increase because owner policies include comprehensive and collision options.
