Yes, your SR22 insurance in Florida will be accepted or honored in New York. If you bought your SR22 insurance to save on auto insurance, then you don’t have to worry about driving around in New York. Your SR 22 insurance policy gained in Florida will be honored there.

Normally, SR22 insurance in Florida is requested from a driver based on several conditions. First, it may be required from a driver involved in a major traffic violation and was not able to show any proof that he or she has insurance coverage. SR22 insurance may also be required from a driver whose car was involved in a traffic accident and subsequently cannot show insurance to cover the damages. Both of these situations can result to a driver being asked to file SR22 primarily to certify that the driver is aware of his financial responsibilities.

In your case, since your SR22 was obtained just because you wanted to save on your car rental insurance, then you can still drive around any other state with your SR22 insurance.
