DUI Cost Estimator for Will County Drivers
A DUI in Illinois costs more than the fine. There are state fees to get your license back, monthly fees for a driving permit, and costs the court can order. Tick the items that apply to you below to see what they add up to. Every amount comes from an Illinois statute.
Your deadlines
- Day 46. Your statutory summary suspension starts, counted from the day you got the notice.
- Day 90. The last day to file a petition to rescind that suspension.
Pick what applies to you
What this does not include
- Legal fees. Every case is different. Jeff explains what changes the cost of a defense on the first call.
- The interlock device itself. The vendor charges for installing and renting it. The state does not publish one price.
- Insurance. Your insurer sets your new rate. There is no official number to show.
- Court costs and assessments. These are set by law and the county and depend on the outcome of the case. Jeff can tell you what to expect in Will County.
Why the total can change
The charge, your record and the outcome all move the number. Court supervision on a first offense avoids a conviction, which can mean no revocation and no revocation reinstatement fee. A high test result or a child in the car adds minimum fines. Read more on what a DUI costs and the DUI penalties chart.
