Yes. Insurance premiums after a Rhode Island DUI conviction typically double or triple for years. Most carriers treat DUI as priorable for 3 to 5 years, some for 7 years, and a few drop the driver entirely after conviction. Rhode Island also requires SR-22 high-risk insurance filing for some DUI convictions, which adds annual filing fees and limits carrier options. Total insurance impact across the priorable window often runs $5,000 to $15,000 in increased premiums on top of the court costs and DMV fees. This is a major component of the real cost of a DUI that defendants frequently underestimate.
