State Requirements

Wyoming requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $20,000 for property damage. The state mandates SR-22 filing for drivers convicted of DUI, driving without insurance, repeat serious violations, or involvement in an at-fault accident without coverage. Drivers required to file SR-22 must maintain continuous coverage for 3 years or face license suspension and requirement period restart.

Liability Insurance
Wyoming's minimum liability limits are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $20,000 for property damage. High-risk drivers should consider higher limits to protect against judgment liens if sued after an at-fault accident, particularly given Wyoming's unlimited statute of limitations on civil judgments. Non-standard carriers typically offer minimum limits to high-risk drivers initially, with higher limits available after 6–12 months of claims-free coverage.

SR-22 Insurance
SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy but a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurer files with the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The SR-22 filing fee ranges from $15–$50 depending on carrier, but the underlying policy premium increases significantly due to the violation that triggered the requirement. Wyoming requires 3 years of continuous SR-22 coverage, and any lapse triggers immediate license suspension and restarts the requirement period from day one.
Optional but recommended
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Wyoming does not mandate uninsured motorist coverage, but approximately 11% of Wyoming drivers are uninsured according to Insurance Research Council data. High-risk drivers with prior at-fault accidents or DUIs face elevated risk of financial loss if hit by an uninsured driver, as many non-standard carriers will not offer collision coverage during the first policy term. UM/UIM coverage typically adds $8–$20 per month to a high-risk policy but provides essential protection when collision coverage is unavailable.

Collision Coverage
Collision coverage pays for vehicle damage regardless of fault, but many non-standard carriers in Wyoming will not offer collision to drivers with recent DUIs or multiple at-fault accidents during the first 6–12 months of coverage. Drivers financing vehicles may face difficultly securing loans without collision coverage available, and those who can obtain it face deductibles of $1,000–$2,500 compared to $500–$1,000 for standard-risk drivers. Rates typically decrease and deductibles lower after 12–24 months of claims-free history.
Required by lienholders
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive coverage protects against theft, weather damage, and animal collisions—a significant risk in rural Wyoming where deer and livestock collisions are common. Non-standard carriers are more likely to offer comprehensive than collision to high-risk drivers, as comprehensive claims do not indicate at-fault driving behavior. Wyoming drivers in rural areas face higher comprehensive rates due to elevated animal collision frequency, with deductibles typically set at $500–$1,000 for high-risk policies.

Cost Overview

High-risk auto insurance rates in Wyoming vary significantly based on violation type, with DUI convictions typically increasing premiums by 150–300% over standard rates. Wyoming's relatively low population density and rural driving conditions result in baseline rates below the national average, but high-risk drivers still face substantial increases. Rates typically decrease after 3–5 years as violations age off your record, with the most significant drops occurring after SR-22 filing requirements end and major violations reach the 3-year mark.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Type of violation: DUI increases premiums 150–300%, while multiple speeding tickets increase rates 60–120%
  • SR-22 filing requirement adds significant premium increase beyond the $15–$50 filing fee itself
  • Time since violation: rates drop 20–40% as violations age past the 3-year mark
  • Geographic location: Cheyenne and Casper high-risk rates run 15–25% higher than rural Wyoming due to accident frequency
  • Prior insurance lapse duration: gaps over 30 days result in 40–60% higher rates than continuous coverage
  • Available carriers: Wyoming's limited non-standard carrier market reduces competition and keeps high-risk rates elevated

Coverage Types

SR-22 Insurance

Certificate of financial responsibility filed by your insurer with Wyoming DOT, required for 3 years after DUI, uninsured accidents, or serious violations. The filing itself costs $15–$50, but the underlying high-risk policy drives the total premium increase.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Specialized coverage for drivers with DUIs, multiple violations, or lapses who cannot qualify for standard carrier policies. Non-standard carriers accept higher-risk profiles but charge 150–300% more than standard rates and typically require 6–12 months claims-free before offering full coverage.

Liability Insurance

Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Wyoming minimums of 25/50/20 are low relative to average accident costs, leaving high-risk drivers vulnerable to lawsuits that can attach wages and property.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Not required in Wyoming but recommended given the state's 11% uninsured driver rate and limited availability of collision coverage for high-risk drivers.

Collision Coverage

Pays for your vehicle damage regardless of fault, but most non-standard carriers in Wyoming will not offer collision to drivers with recent DUIs or multiple at-fault accidents for the first 6–12 months. When available, deductibles range from $1,000–$2,500.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers non-collision damage including theft, weather, vandalism, and animal strikes. More readily available to high-risk drivers than collision coverage since comprehensive claims do not indicate at-fault driving behavior.
