Question
Does Dairyland do SR-22s fast?
I need to file an SR-22 after a DUI, and I’m trying to get back on the road fast. Can Dairyland get that done quickly and without a lot of hassle?
Answer
Yes, that’s actually one of the things Dairyland does best. They’re known for helping people who need SR-22 filings or have had a lapse or suspension, and they usually move faster than bigger companies when it comes to getting you legal again.
The process is usually pretty quick. In many states, they can file the SR-22 electronically within 24–48 hours of you buying your policy.
Here’s what you can expect:
✅ Fast turnaround: Most people are back on the road within a couple of days once payment clears.
✅ Flexible down payments: Dairyland lets you start coverage with a smaller amount upfront if you’re on a tight budget.
✅ Higher premiums at first: Since SR-22s are linked to high-risk driving records (DUIs, suspensions, etc.), you’ll pay more at the beginning, but those rates can drop after 6–12 months of clean driving.
Tips to stay on track:
- Don’t let your policy lapse; if it cancels, your state gets notified right away and your license could be suspended again.
- Ask about discounts for paying on time or taking a defensive driving course.
- Shop around every year; once you’ve had steady coverage and a clean record, you can often move to a standard insurer with lower rates.
