Auto Insurance FAQ — Florida

Answers to the most common questions Florida drivers ask about car insurance.

General Questions

What is the minimum car insurance required in Florida?

Florida law requires all registered vehicle owners to carry at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and $10,000 in Property Damage Liability (PDL). Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance covers your injuries regardless of who caused the accident.

Do I need car insurance if I don't drive often?

If your vehicle is registered in Florida, you are required to maintain insurance at all times, even if you rarely drive. Canceling your insurance without surrendering your tags can result in license suspension and fees.

Can I get same-day auto insurance coverage in Florida?

Yes. Call (855) 460-3330 and our licensed agents can bind your policy and email your insurance ID card the same day — often within the hour.

What happens if I get caught driving without insurance in Florida?

Driving without insurance in Florida can result in suspension of your driver's license and vehicle registration, a reinstatement fee of up to $500, and being required to file an SR22 certificate for 3 years.

Rates & Cost

How much is car insurance per month in Florida?

Florida auto insurance rates vary widely. For minimum coverage (PIP + PDL), expect to pay $80–$140 per month. Full coverage typically runs $180–$320 per month depending on your vehicle, ZIP code, driving record, and age. Call us for an exact quote.

Why is car insurance so expensive in Florida?

Florida has some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country due to high population density, frequent accidents, a large number of uninsured drivers, hurricane risks, and extensive insurance fraud. Shopping with an independent broker like Insurance Medics helps ensure you are getting the most competitive rate available.

How can I lower my car insurance rate in Florida?

The most effective ways to lower your premium include: choosing minimum coverage if your car is paid off, maintaining a clean driving record, bundling with renters or homeowners insurance, paying your premium in full, and shopping your policy every 6 months. As an independent broker, we compare rates across multiple carriers every time.

Can I get car insurance with no deposit in Florida?

Yes. Some carriers offer low or no deposit options. Call (855) 460-3330 and our agents will check what no-deposit or low down payment options are available for your specific situation.

Is it cheaper to pay car insurance monthly or annually in Florida?

Paying annually is typically 5–15% cheaper than paying monthly. However, we understand cash flow is a concern for many drivers and we offer flexible monthly payment plans as well.

Coverage Questions

What does full coverage car insurance include in Florida?

Full coverage typically includes Florida's required PIP and PDL, plus collision coverage (damage to your car from an accident) and comprehensive coverage (damage from theft, weather, fire, or other non-collision events). It may also include uninsured motorist coverage, roadside assistance, and rental reimbursement depending on your policy.

What is PIP insurance in Florida?

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers up to $10,000 in medical expenses and lost wages for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. Florida law requires all drivers to carry $10,000 in PIP coverage.

Does Florida require uninsured motorist coverage?

Florida does not require uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, but it is strongly recommended. Florida has one of the highest rates of uninsured drivers in the country. If you are hit by an uninsured driver, UM coverage protects you from paying out of pocket.

Does car insurance cover a rental car in Florida?

Standard Florida policies do not automatically include rental reimbursement. This is an optional add-on that we can include in your policy. Call us to check if your current policy includes rental coverage.

SR22 & FR44

What is SR22 insurance in Florida?

An SR22 is not an insurance policy — it is a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurance company files with the Florida DHSMV on your behalf. It proves you carry the state's required minimum auto insurance. Learn more about SR22 in Florida →

Does Florida require SR22 or FR44 for DUI?

Florida requires FR44 (not SR22) for DUI/DWI convictions. FR44 requires higher liability limits ($100,000/$300,000 bodily injury and $50,000 PDL) compared to a standard SR22. Our agents handle both SR22 and FR44 filings.

How long do I need SR22 insurance in Florida?

Most Florida SR22 requirements last 3 years. The exact duration depends on your specific violation. Our agents can confirm the requirement period when you call.

Can I get same-day SR22 filing in Florida?

Yes. We file SR22 certificates electronically the same day. Call (855) 460-3330 and our agents can have your SR22 filed within hours of your call.

What is non-owner SR22 insurance in Florida?

Non-owner SR22 is for drivers who need to reinstate their license but do not own a vehicle. It provides liability coverage when driving someone else's car and satisfies the SR22 requirement. This is typically the most affordable SR22 option.
