How Much a DUI Conviction Really Costs

If you are charged with and convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you can expect to pay thousands of dollars in fees and fines. What you expect to pay, however, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Driving School: $100-$400
Fines and Court Fees $500-$8,125
Ignition Interlock: $730-$2,800
License Reinstatement: $150
Electronic Home Monitoring $150-$2,500
Rehabilitation Treatment: $1,500-$20,000
Insurance: $1,800-$3,000
Towing: $50-$400

As you can see, the hidden costs of a  DUI quickly add up. In addition, you will have to factor in lost wages from missing work when you are arrested and for numerous court dates. If you are convicted, you may spend time in jail or prison, which could cause you to lose your job.
