It is possible that some insurance carriers will be able to insure your wife no longer have suspended drivers license and is getting her new valid drivers license. State laws vary with regards to suspended license and auto insurance laws.

Your car insurance and your spouse’s auto insurance will likely be categorize as high risk since you only have learner’s permit and is considered inexperienced driver and your wife has a suspended driver’s license for ten years.

What car insurance premium should I expect if I have my “rebuilt” car insured here in Wisconsin?

Typically, a “rebuilt” title is given to a vehicle that has been damaged and repaired after having been considered a “total loss” by the car insurance company. A vehicle may be considered as a “total loss” if it has been decided that the cost to repair the damage is higher than its “actual cash value.” Normally, the cost of repair falls between 51% to around 80% of the car’s actual cash value (the car insurance company decides on what percentage the repair cost should fall under in order to consider the vehicle a “total loss”). If the car is totaled, it is given a salvage title. However, if the car is repaired and is proven to be ready for the road, it is given a rebuilt title.

In reality, it is difficult to obtain an insurance for a rebuilt vehicle. This is because most automotive insurance companies consider “rebuilt” vehicles as “bad risks” with higher probabilities of getting into an accident again. In case an insurance company agrees on getting your vehicle insured, you may expect that company to give you only a specific amount, something less than the premium that you could actually get if you insure a vehicle that is not titled “rebuilt.” In that case, it is up to you if you want to get that policy or not.
