A DUI/DWI conviction, driver’s license suspension or revocation, or related accident or traffic violation may significantly increase a driver’s insurance rate (by an average of 80%)—and two or more DUI/DWI convictions may make it difficult for a driver to acquire the insurance necessary to operate a vehicle.
In Wyoming, a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) conviction can have a substantial impact on a driver's car insurance rates. After such a conviction, insurance providers typically view the driver as high-risk, which often results in increased premiums. On average, insurance rates can go up by approximately 80%. Additionally, if a driver has multiple DUI/DWI convictions, it becomes even more challenging to find an insurance company willing to provide coverage, as the risk associated with insuring such drivers is considered to be much higher. Furthermore, a DUI/DWI conviction in Wyoming can lead to the suspension or revocation of the driver's license, which also negatively affects insurance eligibility and rates. Insurance companies may require an SR-22 form, which is a certificate of financial responsibility, to be filed by the driver to reinstate driving privileges after a suspension or revocation due to a DUI/DWI. This form proves that the driver carries the state's minimum liability insurance requirements.
