In Pennsylvania, a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) conviction will remain on your driving record for 10 years from the date of the conviction. This means that insurance companies can use the DUI conviction as a factor when determining your auto insurance rates for up to 10 years after the conviction. However, insurance companies may not necessarily look back the full 10 years when considering your DUI conviction. The length of time that an insurance company will consider a DUI conviction may vary depending on the company's policies and guidelines, as well as the severity of the DUI offense. Some insurance companies may only look back 3 to 5 years for DUI convictions, while others may look back the full 10 years. Additionally, some insurance companies may consider only the most recent DUI conviction, while others may consider all past DUI convictions. It's important to note that a DUI conviction can have a significant impact on your auto insurance rates. In Pennsylvania, a DUI conviction can result in an increase of up to 59% in your auto insurance premiums. It is important to speak with your insurance agent or provider to understand how a DUI conviction may affect your auto insurance rates and to explore your options for obtaining affordable coverage.
