What are the penalties for driving without insurance?
The penalty for driving without insurance varies from state to state. If you are uninsured and you indicate a high “Intent to Drive” as an uninsured motorists, your vehicle tag can be seized and your car impounded. In addition, some states impose heavy fines for those who drive without auto insurance or continue to drive even if they are unable to keep their car insurance. Limited states fine a fee of $150 to $500 for driving without insurance.
The consequences can be far more serious if you are involved in an accident and do not have insurance. Most drivers are insured, but many drivers feel that drivers on the road today are driving without car insurance. You may have to comply with the financial responsibility laws (SR22, SR22s, SR16) including having to pay for any injuries or damages out of your own pocket.
We understands that state complacency allows for states to not uphold the laws of the land. As you will understand from our comments, the states don't consider this offense as a serious offense.

What happens when my car is totaled in an accident?
When your car is totaled, the insurance company has an obligation to "make you whole," as that is defined in the policy.
Most policies value your vehicle using Actual Cash Value. "Actual Cash Value" means replacement value less depreciation.
This essentially means you have to be left in approximately the same financial position (with respect to the item insured - not in respect to any liens or leases that hold title to your car) you were in before the accident.
If you have physical damage coverage (comprehensive and collision) the insurance company will typically write you a check for the actual cash value of the vehicle, minus any deductible on your policy. If you are "upside down" on your loan or the cash value is less than your current loan amount ("Upside down" means owing more on a car than it's worth.) then you should consider GAP insurance. In this situation, if you don't have GAP insurance then you would be responsible toward your loan for the remaining balance. The terms of that payment are set through you loan contract.
Comment Update: Please see our related answer titled: How is the "actual cash value" determined?. This should answer your additional questions. It is the same in Arizona as in other states.

I am required to carry a SR22 but don't own a vehicle. What can I do?
Sometimes there is a requirement by a state regulatory entity (usually the state Motor Vehicle Department) for an insurance company to certify that a driver has the ability to pay future claims up to the state required limit. This is the reason why you would have to have an SR-22. It shows that you are financial responsible and it is done in the form of a certification called an SR-22.
The certification is done by means of a form called an SR-22.
In this scenario, you would purchase non-owners SR-22. The SR-22 would provide coverage for your liability protection.
Even though you don't own a vehicle you may still be required to carry an SR22. This is called a non-owners SR-22 insurance policy. The vehicle isn't covered by an SR22 or a non-owners policy. Many readers get confused and believe that a non-owners liability policy is the magic bullet of coverage. It is not, it only covers liability up to the limits purchased. It does not cover the vehicle that you are driving, but only the liability that the driver may cause.
Each state is different, but as a general rule it doesn't cover you for a vehicle registered to you, one in your household, or a vehicle provided for your regular and frequent use. If you have a vehicle registered to you, one in your household, or someone provides a vehicle for your regular and frequent use, you should NOT purchase a non-owner policy for coverage in that scenario!
You may obtain a non-owners liability SR22 insurance policy with some of our partner companies. You can obtain a quote for a non-owner SR-22 policy by following the link and entering your zip code. If a non-owners policy is available, indicate that you do not own a vehicle at the top of the vehicle page.

Comment Update: An SR-22 is required by the state, not CarInsurance.com. The reason you may need a non-owners policy is because an SR-22 is liability insurance, which means it is protecting other people's injuries if YOU are negligent in an accident. This can occur if you are driving another car. That is the reason a non-owners policy is available.
If you own a vehicle, you will not purchase a non-owners policy. If you have a vehicle in your household, or a vehicle provided for your regular and frequent use then most non-owner policies will not cover that scenario.

What is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is a document required as proof of financial responsibility by the court or under state law for persons convicted of certain traffic violations.
Definition of an SR-22 from the Car Insurance Learning Center: SR-22 is a form which must be filed by the insurance company stating that auto liability insurance is in effect for a particular individual. Required when insurance is provided to an individual who was in an accident or was convicted of a traffic offense and was unable to show financial responsibility. Each state has different variations of this form and requirements.

Comment Update: SR-22s are state specific and the requirements in one state may not apply in another state. You can expect an SR-22 or financial responsibility in every state except for these exceptions.
Delaware, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania don't require SR-22s, but if you have an SR-22 and then move to one of these states, you must continue to meet the requirements of the SR-22 state where the offense was committed.
New York and North Carolina don't require SR-22 filings, and most companies don't offer out-of-state SR-22 filings for policies in these states.
If you currently carry an SR-22 in one state but move to another state, you must fulfill the SR-22 filing period for your former state, even though you no longer reside there. Also, your insurance policy for your new state must have liability limits which meet the minimums required by law in your former (SR-22) state.
Comment Followup: You can only get an SR-22 form from an insurance company that is filed with the state to issue SR-22s.
Please read our related questions to help with your comments.
We do not know of any state that requires the SR-22 form to be held in the vehicle while driving. Most states list SR-22 status on your driving record, so law enforcement can look and see if you have it. Typically, it is the state motor vehicle department enforcing the requirement, not the police.
