SR-22 insurance
Agencies that will file the SR-22 certificate the DMV requires after a DUI conviction. Rates vary widely between carriers; it pays to call two.
Guide: How SR-22 works in South Carolina
An SR-22 is not a separate kind of insurance. It is a certificate your insurance company files with the S.C. DMV to show you carry the required liability coverage, and the DMV requires one before it reinstates a license after a DUI conviction. Not every insurer files SR-22s, so ask directly, and ask how long the filing has to stay in place, what happens if the policy lapses, and whether they can file in South Carolina if you live in another state. Requirements can change; confirm with the S.C. DMV or your insurer.

Bail bondsmen
Licensed professional bondsmen who post bonds at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. State law caps the premium at 15 percent of the bond.
Guide: How bail works in Richland County
After an arrest in Richland County, bond is set by a magistrate or municipal judge, usually at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center on John Mark Dial Drive. A bond can be a personal recognizance bond (no money up front), a cash bond, or a surety bond, which a licensed professional bondsman posts in exchange for a fee. Before you sign, ask the bondsman what the fee is and whether any of it is refundable, what collateral they need, and what check-ins they require. The detention center can confirm the bond amount, and the bail and bond explainer covers the process. Requirements can change; confirm with the court or a licensed attorney.

Towing and impound
Where your car went, and who can get it back.
After a DUI arrest, a car left at the scene is often towed to a private lot, and storage fees are usually charged for each day it stays there. Call the arresting agency first to find out which company has the car and whether you need a release from them. Then ask the tow company for the total due, which payment methods it accepts, its lot hours, what ID and proof of ownership to bring, and whether someone else can pick the car up with your written permission.
No towing listings yet. If police had your car towed, the arresting agency can tell you which company has it: Columbia Police at 803-545-3500 or the Richland County Sheriff's Department at 803-576-3000, or the other agencies on the local resources page. Towing companies serving Columbia can add a listing free.
