Non-Standard & High-Risk Auto Insurance, New Braunfels, TX

Bad credit, no license on file, tickets, lapses, or past claims? We work with the carriers that specialize in exactly your situation.

Life happens. A rough credit stretch, a coverage lapse, a couple of tickets, or driving on a foreign or expired license should not lock you out of affordable insurance. Coverall Insurance Agency specializes in non-standard auto, the drivers most agencies turn away. We know which carriers underwrite these profiles fairly, and we get you legally covered fast so you can keep your car on the road.

Who this is for

Bad or no credit

Carriers that weigh your driving record more heavily than your credit score.

No driver’s license

Coverage options for unlicensed, foreign-license, and ID-only drivers.

Prior lapses or claims

Back on the road after a gap, accident, or non-renewal.

What it covers

  • State-minimum and full-coverage options
  • No-license and foreign-license policies
  • Coverage after a lapse or non-renewal
  • Tickets, at-fault accidents, and DUIs considered
  • Monthly payment plans with low down payments
  • Same-day proof of insurance

Insurance for the drivers everyone else turns away

The big direct carriers and quote-comparison sites are built for one customer: a clean record, good credit, and a standard Texas license. If you don’t fit that box, you get declined, surcharged, or quietly priced out. Non-standard auto insurance exists for everyone else, and it’s one of our specialties.

Non-standard policies are written by specialty markets that intentionally underwrite the profiles standard carriers avoid: drivers with tickets, accidents, or DUIs; lapses in coverage; little or no credit history; and drivers without a traditional license. As an independent agency we work directly with those markets, so instead of one “no,” you get real options.

Bad credit doesn’t have to mean high rates

Most standard insurers in Texas use a credit-based insurance score to set your rate, which punishes drivers who’ve had a rough financial stretch, even with a clean driving record. Many of the non-standard carriers we work with don’t weigh credit at all. They look at how you actually drive and what you need today.

For a lot of clients, that single difference is the deciding factor: the same driver can pay noticeably less with a carrier that skips the credit check than with a big-name company that leans on it. We’ll shop both so you can see the gap for yourself.

Driving without a standard Texas license

No license on file doesn’t automatically mean no insurance. We work with carriers that write coverage for a range of situations, including:

  • Foreign or international licenses
  • Matrícula consular and ITIN holders
  • Expired Texas licenses awaiting renewal or reinstatement
  • Permit and provisional drivers
  • Drivers who need an SR-22 but don’t currently hold a license

Back on the road after a lapse, ticket, or accident

A coverage gap, a non-renewal, a couple of tickets, or an at-fault accident can all push you out of the standard market, but they don’t make you uninsurable. We place coverage for drivers coming off a lapse, rebuilding after a claim, or carrying violations, and we can issue proof of insurance the same day so you can register your car and drive legally right away.

Whatever your situation, tell us honestly and we’ll find the fit. There’s no judgment here, just a local agent whose job is to get you covered.

How much does high-risk or non-standard auto insurance cost in Texas?

There’s no single “non-standard rate”, your price is built from your specific profile: your driving record, how long you’ve been licensed, the coverage you need, and your ZIP code here in Comal County. That said, most non-standard drivers in Texas typically land somewhere in the $80 to $250 a month range, with clean-record drivers on a foreign or Matrícula license often paying toward the lower end and drivers carrying a recent DUI, multiple tickets, or an at-fault accident toward the higher end.

The single biggest swing is the reason you’re shopping non-standard in the first place. A first DUI that requires an SR-22 filing commonly pushes annual premiums into the $1,500 to $3,000+ range, while a no-license or recent-lapse profile with an otherwise clean record can cost far less. For a broader look at what Texans pay, see our guide on how much car insurance costs in Texas.

Here’s the part the comparison sites won’t tell you: two carriers can quote wildly different prices for the exact same driver. Because we’re independent, we put your profile in front of multiple specialty markets and find the one that prices your record best, then layer on low-down-payment monthly plans so you’re not paying a year up front.

  • Clean record, foreign/Matrícula license: often the lowest non-standard tier
  • Recent lapse or no prior coverage: typically a modest surcharge over standard
  • Tickets or one at-fault accident: usually a meaningful step up
  • DUI with an SR-22: the highest tier, but still very shoppable across carriers

What makes a driver “non-standard”?

“Non-standard” isn’t an insult, it’s simply how the industry labels any driver who doesn’t fit a standard carrier’s narrow box of clean record, strong credit, and a long-held Texas license. If a big direct carrier has declined, surcharged, or non-renewed you, you’re very likely non-standard, and that’s exactly the lane we specialize in. Drivers who do fit the standard box are usually better served by a standard auto policy, which we also write.

  • One or more tickets, at-fault accidents, or a DUI/DWI on your record
  • A coverage lapse, non-renewal, or no prior insurance history
  • Little, no, or rough credit (many of our carriers skip the credit check entirely)
  • A foreign license, Matrícula consular, ITIN, permit, or expired/no license on file
  • A state-required SR-22 filing after a serious violation
  • A newly licensed or first-time buyer with no insurance track record

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get insured without a driver’s license?

Yes. Several carriers we work with write policies for drivers without a standard Texas license, including foreign license, Matrícula, ITIN, expired license, or permit situations. We will match you to one that fits.

My credit is bad. Will I be denied?

No. We work with non-standard carriers that don’t use a credit score at all, they focus on your driving record and current need. Drivers with poor or no credit frequently pay less with these carriers than with a big standard company.

I have a ticket / accident / DUI. Can you still cover me?

Yes. Non-standard markets are built for exactly these situations, including SR-22 filings after a DUI. We shop the carriers that price your record fairly instead of turning you away.

How fast can I get proof of insurance?

Often the same day. Once we finalize your policy we can send proof of coverage immediately so you can register or drive legally right away.

Do you offer low down payments and monthly plans?

Yes. Most non-standard carriers we use offer low-down-payment and monthly billing options, so you can get covered without paying for the whole policy up front.

What is non-standard auto insurance?

Non-standard auto insurance is coverage for drivers who don’t fit a standard carrier’s preferred box, people with tickets, accidents, a DUI, a coverage lapse, bad or no credit, or no standard Texas license. The coverage itself works like a normal auto policy; it’s just written by specialty markets that underwrite higher-risk drivers fairly. At Coverall Insurance Agency in New Braunfels, this is one of our specialties, and we shop multiple non-standard markets to find your best fit.

How much is high-risk car insurance in Texas?

It depends heavily on why you’re considered high-risk, but most non-standard drivers in Texas typically pay somewhere in the range of about $80 to $250 a month. A clean-record driver on a foreign or Matrícula license often pays toward the lower end, while a recent DUI with an SR-22 can run higher, commonly $1,500 to $3,000 or more per year. Because we’re independent and shop multiple markets, we focus on finding the carrier that prices your specific record lowest.

Who has the cheapest high-risk auto insurance in New Braunfels?

There’s no single cheapest company, the same driver can get very different quotes from different carriers. That’s the whole point of using a local independent agency: instead of checking one carrier, we put your profile in front of several specialty markets at once and find the one that prices your situation best, then add low-down-payment monthly options. Call us at 830-415-4971 and we’ll do the shopping for you.

Is non-standard auto insurance the same as an SR-22?

No. Non-standard auto insurance is a type of policy for higher-risk drivers, while an SR-22 is just a certificate of financial responsibility your insurer files with the Texas DPS to prove you carry at least the state-required coverage. An SR-22 is one common reason a driver ends up in the non-standard market, but plenty of non-standard drivers, like those with a lapse or a foreign license, never need one. If you do need an SR-22, we can file it the same day.

I’ve never had car insurance before. Can you still cover me?

Yes. Having no prior insurance history is one of the most common reasons standard carriers decline a driver, and it’s exactly what the non-standard market is built for. We work with New Braunfels and Texas drivers buying their first policy, including newly licensed and first-time buyers, and we shop multiple carriers to find one that won’t penalize you for starting fresh.

Can I switch to a standard policy later if my record improves?

Absolutely. Non-standard coverage is often a bridge, not a life sentence. As your driving record stays clean, your credit recovers, or your SR-22 period ends, you may qualify for a standard policy at a lower rate, and because we’re independent, we can re-shop your coverage and move you to a standard carrier when the time is right.
