New Bedford insurance questions
Do I need an SR-22 in New Bedford?
Not for Massachusetts. Your insurance company reports your policy to the RMV, so there's no SR-22 to file here. If another state needs one from you, a licensed agent can help.
Can I get car insurance in New Bedford after an OUI?
Yes. You need Massachusetts compulsory insurance before you can register and drive a car again, and your rate may be higher for a few years. A licensed agent can compare companies for you today.
